A bearded man with long dreadlocked hair wrapped in a dark cloth, wearing a rust-orange draped robe and a red wrist thread, stands barefoot on a stone path, smiling broadly. Beside him, an older man in white dhoti and shawl with a gold-bordered red cloth, gold wristwatch, glasses and a tilak on his forehead laughs and gestures.

The orange-robed figure has distinctive long dreadlocks and saffron robes, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm the a person identity.
