Photograph taken at dusk against a pale grey sky, showing a figure standing with back to camera on a raised white metal platform with handrails. The figure has long dark matted hair swept upward into a topknot, wears a reddish-orange robe, and has an arm bent at the side. In front of the platform is a large dark dome-shaped object draped with a garland of orange, yellow, white and red flowers. A seated person in light clothing is partly visible at the lower left of the platform, with a small lamp or offering near the figure's feet. The figure's appearance matches a person by long swept hair and saffron-orange robe, but the figure is seen from behind and the face is not visible, so identity is uncertain.
