A photograph of a smiling bearded man with long dark hair, wearing a rust-red saffron-toned unstitched wrap over his shoulders and a white, red, green and purple flower garland around his neck. He extends one hand toward a vehicle with a brown body. Behind him, two younger men with white tripundra forehead markings and gold-bead necklaces stand near a golden pole, one raising an arm to hold it. Warm evening light from a side lamp. The man's appearance, long hair and garlanded red wrap, is consistent with the page's a person reference, but the identity is uncertain, so the role is given as a bearded man in a red wrap.
