A photo of a man in orange saffron robes and an orange turban playing a large wooden stringed instrument. He wears a small red bindi, a lapel microphone, gold-coloured bead necklaces with bells, and beaded red-brown bangles on both arms. Behind him are green leafy plants and a golden figure or deity murti in the background. a person candidate appearance is consistent with the page reference, but the cues are not strong enough for a firm identification, so the appearance-based label is probable only from the saffron turban, ornate beads and saffron robes.
