Outdoor photo beneath a large banyan tree with exposed aerial roots. A figure with long dreadlocks, a rust-red turban and a bare chest, wearing a white flower garland with gold armlets, stands in profile facing a flower-decorated trunk. The garland is red, yellow, orange, purple and white. A blue sign reads DO NOT ENTER THE CAVE. Behind him, a man in white dhoti holds a lit lamp on a tray in front of a canopy, and a cameraman in white dhoti films. A man in orange dhoti with rudraksha beads holds a lamp tray. The figure at the front has distinctive long hair and adornments, but identity is uncertain from appearance, so the description uses the role of devotee and priest.
