A photograph of a man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi, seated on a wooden palanquin-style chair carried on wooden poles outdoors on a stony, wet path. He wears a turquoise kurta with embroidered neckline, an orange dhoti, and a cream sash draped over his shoulder, with orange cushions behind him. Several men in jackets, caps and work clothes stand around, one holding a pole and another gripping the chair frame, with folded striped blankets and a green checked cloth on the seat. The chair appears to be a ceremonial carrying conveyance; the man's appearance (long hair, saffron-toned dhoti, ornate kurta, presentation being carried) gives a probable match to a person, though the face is not visible enough for certainty.
