A photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair, wearing a cream-coloured turban and a red embroidered ceremonial garment with silver-and-gold zari patterns and a long red sash draped over one shoulder.

Appearance-based candidate: a person, wearing a long-haired, turbaned, ornately embroidered red garment on stage, though the face is not clear enough for a firm identification.
