He wears an ornate multicoloured brocade hat with gold embroidery, blue and red tassels, a heavy gold collar necklace and a long beaded mala of brown beads over a deep red-maroon robe. His hands grip the hat's side tassels and he smiles toward the camera. A brocade gold-and-red ceremonial cushion or apron lies across his lap, and a small brass object sits at the edge of the frame. A photo of him in this ornate costume shows the candidate's cues: long hair, distinctive headwear, ceremonial gold necklace and rudraksha-style mala. The appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, so this is a probable identification from appearance.2011-08-01
