A photograph of a man standing against a painted backdrop of blue sky and pale yellow ochre clouds. He has long, dark, swept-back hair, a tripundra of white ash across the forehead with a red bindi, and a rudraksha bead tier crown on his head. He wears a leopard-print wrap over bare shoulders, layered gold and rudraksha mala necklaces, and a gold chain at the throat. Appearance-based label: a person, identified by his long hair, rudraksha crown and multiple rudraksha and gold malas; the page does not place him at this event, so the role is uncertain.
