A photograph of a bare-chested man in a rust-red dhoti with a wide gold border and a gold waist belt, wearing a long garland of pink and white flowers across his chest and rudraksha bracelets on his arm. His right hand rests against the trunk of a large banyan-type tree with pale bark and ropes of white flowers hanging from its branches, while leafy branches frame the foreground. Behind him, orange and red fabric and blurred figures suggest a ritual setting outdoors. The man's face is partly turned away and bowed toward the tree. Appearance-based cues are a long dark hair, gold earring and flower garland, but the face is not clearly identifiable.
