A bearded man with long swept-back dark hair sits cross-legged on a raised white metal platform beside a large grey stone sphere draped with garlands of marigolds in red, yellow, white and green. He wears a rust-orange sleeveless top, an orange lower cloth, a rudraksha mala and a thin gold necklace, with a vermilion mark on his forehead, and looks calmly to one side. Behind him, attendants in orange robes and one in a white dhoti stand on the railed steps holding ceremonial items, under a golden umbrella with multicoloured tassels against a pale sky. The scene appears to be a ceremonial outdoor event, and the man is a person in person.
