A smiling man with long dark swept-back hair and a red tilak on his forehead stands outdoors in front of a hillside building and a dense row of colourful prayer flags in red, yellow, green, blue and white. He wears an orange-saffron fleece wrap with gold trim and a long rudraksha mala of dark beads, and holds a brass trident with his left hand while raising his right palm in greeting. Green grass is in the foreground. Appearance cues are distinctive but no printed name or event is visible, so identity is uncertain and he is described by role as a sadhu-style devotee.
