A photograph of a smiling bearded man with long dark hair and a white-and-red tilak on his forehead, wearing a rust-orange wrap across his shoulders and bare-shouldered, seated before an ornate gold repoussé backdrop. In the foreground at left, the back of a bald man in a white shirt wearing a red-and-white rudraksha mala is visible. The seated man resembles the a person depicted in the page, but this appearance-based match rests on limited cues (orange wrap and tilak only), so the identity is uncertain; he is described as a seated devotee-facing figure.
