Close portrait photograph of a bearded man wearing a rust-brown turban with an ornate gold, pearl and green-and-red jewelled brooch, a sandalwood or kumkum tilak on his forehead, and gold earrings. He is draped in brown cloth and heavy garlands of pink flowers and rudraksha beads, with a rudraksha bracelet on his upper arm. Behind him is a gold brocade cushion or backdrop against a dark background. The man has distinctive long hair under the turban, rudraksha malas and ornate adornments, a presentation consistent with the page's a person reference (probable), though the appearance cues are not fully conclusive.
