A photograph of a seated man in a bright blue kurta with a gold shawl and orange dhoti, with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead, sitting on a wooden palanquin-style litter with bamboo poles and rope lashings. Around him, several men in jackets and sweaters stand and look on, one in a white zip jacket with blue stripes gazing upward with a folded maroon cloth in his arms. Orange cloth is visible in the foreground. The setting appears to be a rocky mountain village path. The seated man has long swept-back hair, a gold shawl and a blue kurta with orange lower garment, which are cues consistent with a person candidate, though his appearance is not certain enough to confirm identity.
