Close side profile photograph of a smiling man with long, swept-back glossy black hair and white horizontal forehead markings. He wears an orange saffron shawl draped over the shoulder and a leopard-print garment underneath, with a long necklace of ornate gold beads with dark bands.

Blurred warm lights sit in the background.
