A man stands on a stage under a metal lighting truss hung with stage spotlights, one arm raised high in a gesture of blessing or declaration. He wears a rust-red garment draped over the body with a leopard-print patterned sash and wrap, a gold-toned headpiece in his hair, a red thread bracelet on the raised wrist and red beads at the other wrist. A dark vertical tilak mark is on his forehead, and a gold-toned necklace is visible at his chest. Overhead, a white fabric valance hangs across the top of the frame. Stage lights glow in warm amber and white. The photo is taken from below, placing the figure in front of the lighting rig.
