A photograph of a figure seated from behind on a stage, facing a blurred audience. The figure wears a rust-orange turban wrapped over long dark dreadlocks that fall down the back, a rust-orange shawl across the bare shoulders, a leopard-print lower garment, a gold armlet and a gold necklace. In the right hand is a small ceremonial fan or ritual implement with a silver handle. A brass vessel with a curved spout sits at the left edge, and a gold pillar frames the right side. Behind the stage a large screen glows pink and white, and rows of seated devotees fill the blurred background.
