A photograph of a long-haired man in a rust-orange dhoti-style wrap with yellow-gold borders, bare-chested and wearing an orange-red bead necklace, standing barefoot on a white stone platform beside a large banyan tree. He leans one hand against the aerial-rooted trunk and looks down. Red and white patterned mats lie on the steps, and a stone bench sits in the lower left. The figure has long swept-back hair and a rudraksha-style mala, matching the a person candidate cues, but the appearance is only partly clear, so identity is uncertain. No other people are visible.
