A photograph, rotated sideways, of a person reclining on a white-draped bed or platform covered in thick garlands of white jasmine and orange marigold. The reclining figure wears a cream and gold embroidered kurta, a brown shawl and a patterned brown turban, with hands pressed together in a namaste gesture near the face. Beside the bed stands a decorated black linga-shaped form with white tripundra-style markings and yellow-and-red flower garlands, set against a floral rangoli-like mat in yellow and green with white-and-red edging, and a backdrop of green foliage. The setting appears to be a festival display at an ashram-style event.
