Close-up photograph of a smiling man wearing a white crinkled turban and a red bindi on his forehead. He has long dark hair falling past his shoulders and wears a purple and blue embroidered silk kurta with sequin and thread work. A garland of white flowers with red blooms and green leaves hangs across his chest, interspersed with large gold beads. The background is a blurred golden decorative surface. Appearance cues such as the long swept-back hair, ornate clothing, gold garland and turban are consistent with a ceremonial presentation, but identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
