A photograph of a seated bearded man with long dreadlocked hair and a white forehead marking, bare-chested except for a red-orange shawl, with a heavy rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, holding incense sticks while a shaved-headed attendant in a red turban and red cloth, with a rudraksha mala and bare shoulders, offers items from a woven basket. The seated man rests on a leopard-print cushioned throne before an ornate silver-embossed backdrop with a lion sculpture, while a large trident stands behind and a red-and-orange painted deity face fills the left background. Microphones are visible at the side. The setting appears to be a stage ritual or darshan.
