Photograph from behind of a standing man wearing a maroon turban wrapped with gold cords and turquoise beads, with long dark hair falling down his back. He wears a thick necklace of pink and white beads, interspersed with red rudraksha-style beads and a rudraksha mala, draped over bare shoulders. A silver-toned staff or trident-like rod rises on the right edge of the frame. The background is blurred green foliage and a chain-link fence. The figure's identity is not established by visible evidence, so no a person identification is made.
