Outdoor photograph of a man in a saffron-orange dhoti and matching shawl with long flowing hair, wearing a thick orange-and-blue flower garland, gold bangles and a gold necklace. He extends his right hand to scatter or offer petals near an ornate copper-and-gold kalasha-style pillar or ratha-like shrine structure decorated with white and red flower garlands and a striped cloth wrapped around its top. A palm tree and bright sky appear behind him, with a few petals falling through the air.
