Close profile photo of a man wearing a leopard-print headwrap wound over a high black topknot, with white and red tilak marks on his forehead and a gold hoop earring. He wears layered garlands of yellow marigolds, white flowers and pink roses around his neck, with green leaves visible at the shoulder. Behind him, a gilded golden ornament glows, and two blurred people in white stand in the background with hands folded. The photo appears to show a ceremonial or procession setting. The visible person has a shaved-style moustache and beard and no crown, saffron robe or rudraksha mala is visible, so identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.
