Photo of a man standing barefoot on red-and-white striped steps before a white wall with a bamboo pole wrapped in yellow marigold garlands. He wears a saffron-red draped cloth over one shoulder, a long rudraksha mala and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace, with white ash marks on his forehead and arms and his hair swept back. Behind him stands a boy in a checked shirt and blue shorts, and at the right edge a man in orange robes holds a red cloth. The man in the centre shows the appearance-based cues of a saffron-clad sannyasi with rudraksha and gold, so he is labelled a person.
