A photograph of a long-haired man with dreadlocks, wearing a bare-chested reddish-orange garment and a thick rudraksha mala across his shoulder, smiling as he embraces a person in white. He has white ash markings and a red bindi on his forehead, and wears a gold bracelet and beaded wrist threads. Behind him, women in cream and gold-bordered saris and gold necklaces stand in a red-carpeted hall, with a potted plant and an air cooler at left. Appearance-based candidate: a person, based on the long dreadlocks, rudraksha mala and orange garment, shown in person embracing a devotee.
