A smiling man in close-up wears an ornate gold crown with floral repoussé work and red and green stones, a red vertical tilak on his forehead, and a thick garland of white jasmine alternating with red flowers over a magenta garment. A heavy gold bead necklace hangs at his chest. An orange cloth or banner rises behind him. The photo is a close portrait with the man in the foreground, looking to the side. The crown and garlands suggest a festival procession or ceremonial occasion, and no clear visible name or label appears on him.
