A man with long, curly dark hair and a rudraksha-bead crown on his head stands with eyes closed and palms pressed together at his chest in prayer. He wears a leopard-print cloth over his shoulders, a heavy gold necklace strung with rudraksha beads, and a vibhuti horizontal line with a red kumkum dot on his forehead. White bands are wrapped around his upper arms. He holds a black ceremonial staff between his hands. A painted blue and yellow backdrop is behind him. Given the crown, long hair, rudraksha malas, gold ornaments and leopard-print shawl, this appears to be a person performing a prayer gesture, shown in person on stage.
