Photograph of a shaved-headed man seated on a rock against a dark blue background, wearing a red-orange sannyasi wrap over his shoulders and red cloth around his body. He has a white horizontal tilak across his forehead with a red dot at the centre, and he raises one hand in a blessing gesture while the other rests on his knee. The page attributes this image to a 2001 event, but the visible cues are a shaved head, white tilak and plain red robes without distinctive crown, long hair or ornate adornments, so the identity is uncertain.
