A smiling man in a saffron-orange sannyasi outfit stands on grass in front of a mountain covered with strings of colourful prayer flags. He wears long dark hair swept back, a red tilak on his forehead, and multiple rudraksha mala necklaces with clear crystal beads. A leopard-print sash is tied at his waist and drapes over his hip. In his raised left hand he holds a brass trident, and his right hand is lifted in a wave. A kalasha-free open landscape with scattered colourful flags stretches behind him. The man has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, which are cues consistent with the a person label, though the candidate's appearance is not certain enough to confirm identity.
