A man in a red shawl with a gold rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders stands in profile, reaching up toward a tall silver staff topped with a ceremonial finial. He holds a folded white paper in his other hand and smiles, looking down. A bright orange-yellow tilak marks his forehead, and his dark hair is tied in a low bun. Behind him are gold-toned draped backdrops and a gilded ritual object in the foreground.

He holds a small white slip of paper in one hand, while his other arm is raised to rest against a silver ceremonial staff topped with a round silver finial. Behind him are golden ceremonial fittings, a dark wooden form with a carved serpent, and a golden backdrop. Drums are partly visible at the lower right. The man's appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to establish identity, and the page's a person claim is not corroborated by the visible cues alone.2014-08-02
