A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-saffron cloth draped over one shoulder, wearing a dense multi-strand rudraksha mala and small gold hoop earrings. He sits on a red upholstered seat beside a golden ornamental pillar, holding a curved, weathered blade with a red and blue handle while looking down at it. Behind him a large printed banner shows a stylised face with a dark mark on the forehead and wide teeth, with a faint purple logo in the upper left corner. The appearance of the seated man is consistent with a person, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, but the image is too uncertain to confirm, so the a person value is unsure. He is the only physical person visible.
