A photograph taken outdoors in a mountain valley with barren slopes and strings of colourful prayer flags behind. A standing man with long, loose black hair and a white tilak on his forehead smiles and holds a silver trident in his left hand while resting his right hand on his hip. He wears an orange long-sleeved top, an orange dhoti with a yellow border, a leopard-print wrap, and a brown beaded necklace with a gold beaded chain and bell-like ornaments across his chest and waist. Bare feet stand on a patterned carpet with brass vessels bearing yellow fruit at the base. To the right, a figure in an orange puffer jacket kneels or bends forward, and a golden ornate deity panel is propped nearby. Partial figures in orange and grey are visible at the frame edges. The standing man is an appearance-based candidate for a person, with long hair, orange clothing, a trident and ornate beaded adornments.
