A smiling man in profile wears an ornate cream-and-gold turban and a red tilak on his forehead. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders, and he is bare-chested under a white cloth wrap. Heavy garlands of white jasmine and red flowers hang across his shoulders. Behind him, a gold-topped ceremonial umbrella or canopy with green and yellow tassels is visible, and a golden ritual vessel stands in the lower right. Outdoors in bright daylight.
