A photograph of a man with long dreadlocked hair and a red-brown vertical tilak on his forehead, eyes closed, palms pressed together in anjali mudra. He wears a rust-red sleeveless robe and a thick garland of pink lotus petals alternating with white flowers and gold beads. A gold pendant with a carved figure and a red-jeweled base hangs on his chest, and a red thread is tied on his wrist. Behind him, other people in orange and saffron clothing stand in a blurred crowd, and a hand holding a fabric is visible at upper right. The man appears to be a sannyasi in a festival or satsang setting; the presentation of long dreadlocks, ornate gold jewellery and a lotus garland fits the appearance-based candidate description, so identity is probable but not certain from appearance alone.
