A smiling man in a rust-red dhoti and matching shawl sits on a leopard-print cushioned seat under a wooden canopy. He wears a red-and-gold headband, white vertical tilak with a red bindi, a heavy gold necklace with rudraksha-style gold beads and a large jewelled pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and white jasmine garlands with red roses. He holds a wooden staff across his lap. Behind him, a few onlookers in white and casual clothes stand among coconut palms, and a pedestal fan and a man in white dhoti are visible.
