Close photograph of a smiling man in a pale cream turban with a small red bindi on his forehead, wearing an embroidered cream-and-gold ceremonial garment with a red edging and a gold pendant necklace. Long dark hair falls over his shoulders, and a red cloth drapes at his right side. At left, a hand holds a brass bell or handbell beside a garland of pink and white flowers, with a stone carved architectural element behind him. The visible cues are the turban, long hair, ornate ceremonial clothing and gold necklace, which are consistent with a person in a temple setting, though the face is not used for identification. No one else is visible.
