A smiling man in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban stands on a gravel plain with snow-capped mountains behind him. His turban has a round gold-and-jewelled ornament at the front and a red bindi on his forehead. He wears a long rudraksha mala around his neck, a saffron shawl draped over his shoulder, and a gold-trimmed saffron sash. He raises one hand in greeting and holds a long wooden staff in the other hand. Golden trident-shaped ornaments appear at his temple.
