Outdoor photo of a bare-chested man seated on a red mat, smiling and holding a rope with his right hand, wearing a rust-red cloth, a long red-and-green flower garland with gold ornaments, gold armlets and a gold-beaded necklace. Behind him, several women in saris and shawls stand with hands folded, a man with a moustache and a rudraksha mala stands nearby, and bamboo grove foliage fills the background. A white cup sits on a small table. The page identifies him as a person, but he is not confidently recognizable from these cues alone, so identity is uncertain.
