A photograph of an elderly bald man with a white beard and white horizontal tilak marks across his forehead, wearing a cream dhoti and shawl with a red-and-gold rudraksha-style mala, playing a silver conch shell trumpet into a microphone on a stand. Behind him a teenage boy in a white collared shirt and belt stands watching, and at right a partially visible person in an orange cloth with a bare upper body stands near the edge. The backdrop is a dark blue curtain with a white projection screen at left. Chest-up framing, stage setting. Appearance is not sufficient to confirm the a person candidate, so the identity is uncertain.
