A man stands outdoors under a large spreading tree with thick branches. He wears an orange saffron cloth draped over his shoulder and bare upper body, with multiple strands of gold ceremonial necklaces and gold armlets. He has slicked-back dark hair and a red bindi on his forehead, and gazes to the side. Behind him is a blue sign with Kannada and English text and no-photography and no-camera symbols. Hanging bells and wooden poles are visible nearby. The appearance is consistent with a presentation of a sannyasi with distinctive gold adornments, though identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
