A photograph of a man with long dreadlocks and a reddish-brown wrap standing with palms pressed together in anjali, eyes closed, at a white pole with red markings. He wears a pink and white flower garland and a large gold pendant necklace, with a rudraksha bracelet on the wrist of the hand touching the pole. Behind him a standing young man in glasses and a bare torso wears a rudraksha mala. Behind them a large group of people in orange robes and orange turbans stands in an open outdoor courtyard with greenery. Several people are visible in the background, and a drum is partly visible. The dreadlocked man's appearance and garb with a bare-chested devotee setting suggests a priest-like role, but identity is uncertain.
