Outdoor photo of a young bare-chested man with curly black hair, white face paint with dark markings on forehead and brow, and a painted dark moustache. He wears a long rudraksha mala and a small pendant on a cord. Blurred green trees and a sandy ground fill the background, with other people, including one in orange clothing, out of focus at the edges. The man's appearance is not clearly consistent with a person identification, so he is described by role only. Visible people are the central man plus a few blurred figures at the edges.
