A man with swept-back dark hair, a white and red tilak on his forehead, and a full beard smiles with palms pressed together in namaste. He wears layered ornate gold necklaces, gold bangles and rings, and a garland of white jasmine and pink lotus-like flowers. Behind him is a silver-coloured palanquin pillar and a large decorative backdrop of red roses, yellow marigolds and purple flowers arranged in a net pattern. Appearance-based identification is a person by his distinctive ornate gold jewellery and swept hair, seated in a flower-decorated palanquin during a festival procession.
