A smiling shaved-headed man stands outdoors holding a wooden-handled red umbrella fringed with multicoloured tassels. He is bare-chested with a white dhoti-style cloth over his shoulder and red trim, wears a rudraksha mala, and has white urdhva lines and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him are a pink wall, green foliage and a dirt road. The tassels are green, orange, red and pink. This appears to be a photo of a single person; the appearance cues do not meet the threshold for identifying the subject as a person.
