A bearded man with long matted dreadlocks wound into a high topknot stands with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, eyes closed, in a crowded street outside a temple. He wears a rust-red shawl, multiple orange-yellow marigold garlands and dense rudraksha malas around his neck and forearms, with a vertical tilak on his forehead. Behind him a second man in white with a beard also has his hands folded. Around them devotees in dark and white clothes stand close, one woman in a black top at left, and a yellow-walled shop front and green foliage frame the scene.
