A photograph of a bare-shouldered man in an orange-red cloth leaning forward with his head bowed, his right hand pressed against a white stone or murti surface dusted with white powder and smeared with red kumkum. He wears a rudraksha mala in his long matted hair, a green leaf tucked behind his ear, gold earring, and multiple rudraksha bracelets on his wrists and a rudraksha necklace. Garlands of white and yellow flowers and green and red draped cloth frame the scene. The white powder on his shoulder and arm appears to be vibhuti.
