A photograph of a bare-chested man with long dreadlocked hair piled high and a tilak on his forehead, wearing a rust-red dhoti-style cloth, a red and white bead garland, a heavy gold necklace with ornate pendants and multiple rudraksha-style beads, and a gold armlet. He looks down while holding a silver tray of red flowers. Behind him are gold ornamental panels, red and yellow flower garlands and a gold kalasha-like vessel. The man appears to be a person by appearance cues: long swept hair, ceremonial gold necklaces and rudraksha beads, though his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
