A photograph of a young girl standing in front of an ornate gilded arch with turquoise and golden surfaces. She wears an orange-saffron garment, layered rudraksha malas, a heavy gold necklace and matching gold earrings, and a gold forehead ornament over a white tilak. Her hair is long and loose, and she looks toward the camera. A saffron cloth draped behind her and a bokeh of warm lights complete the setting. Her presentation is that of a young ascetic-styled figure in ceremonial dress; no identity is asserted from appearance.
