A photograph of a bearded man with long dark hair seated cross-legged on a tiger-skin-draped dais beside a large golden bull statue (Nandi) with a curved horn and ornate harness. He wears a rust-orange robe over bare shoulders, a red wristband, and a small vertical forehead mark, and holds a handheld microphone while smiling.
