A seated man in a rust-brown dhoti and shawl sits on a golden carved dais before a red curtain. He wears a leopard-print cloth headwrap, long dreadlock-like hair, a gold-bead mala with a large gold pendant, and a red-and-gold waistband. He holds a wooden staff across his lap and sits beside a silver and white flower-garlanded altar with brass vessels, a stone mortar and pestle, bowls of coloured powders and a brass lamp stand. This photo has a person candidate present, with cues of long swept-back hair, a headwrap, saffron-brown clothing and ornate gold necklaces, shown in a puja setting.
