A bearded man in a rust-red turban and matching red-brown dhoti-style cloth stands outdoors with eyes closed and hands raised behind his head, smiling. He wears heavy gold ceremonial necklaces with pendants, a jewelled gold headpiece on the turban, coral-and-gold bangles, and long garlands of pink lotus buds, white jasmine and red roses. Behind him are colourful fabrics and decorations under trees. One person is visible, and his appearance is consistent with the page's suggested identity but not distinctive enough to confirm it.
