Photograph of a long-haired man seated on an ornate silver-carved chair, smiling and resting his raised hand against his chin. He wears a rust-red sleeveless garment with a leopard-print waist sash and a dense rudraksha mala draped over one shoulder, plus a thin gold chain.

Silver ritual vessels with floral ornamentation are visible at the bottom edge, and a garland lies at the right. a person candidate: long swept-back dreadlocked hair, rudraksha mala and gold necklace, though the face is not used for identification.
