Night photograph taken on a river at a ghat. A seated man with swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange and maroon garment, layered rudraksha malas and a gold ceremonial necklace, plus gold armlets and bangles. He sits on an ornate white throne-like chair on a white railed platform, looking to the side with hands folded. Warm lights line the distant shore and small boats with passengers drift on dark water. A white-clothed person is partly visible at the left edge.
