A photograph of a saffron-clad man walking barefoot across large grey boulders in an outdoor setting with trees, a red metal frame and a green hose on the ground. The central figure wears a red-and-gold dhoti, a thick red and gold garland of flowers, layered rudraksha mala necklaces, a large gold pendant, gold bangles and a red forehead mark. Behind him, three other men in similar rust-red and gold-bordered cloth follow, one carrying a rudraksha mala. The figure's long swept-back hair and ornate, saffron-toned adornments fit the a person appearance cues, so he is described as a probable candidate. A red wall and pile of dry leaves are visible in the background.
