A photograph of a man in a rust-brown sannyasi-style wrap and matching turban with a gold crest, standing bare-armed beside a tree trunk draped with thick garlands of red, yellow, orange, purple and white flowers. He wears heavy gold necklaces, a pink-and-white flower garland, gold armlets and bangles, and has a full dark beard and long dark hair swept up. He leans forward with his head bowed close to the garlanded trunk. Behind him, a man in an orange shirt holds a paper and another person in white dhoti-style clothing stands nearby, with trees in the background. The garlanded tree and bowed posture suggest a ritual offering. Two men stand behind him, a photographer at right; only the posed man and the people partly visible at the edges are counted.
