A photograph of a padapuja-style blessing on a stage before a colourful temple-architecture backdrop. A seated man with long dark hair, wearing an orange robe, sits on an ornate gold throne-chair with carved gold details and a red cushion at its base, one hand raised to the head of a bowing man in an orange robe and white cord who wears glasses. A second man in an orange robe stands at the left with head bowed. The seated figure's distinctive long hair, ornate gold throne and orange robe are present, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm his identity, so he is described by role only.
