A photograph of a stage event where a man in a light blue shirt and jeans bends forward to touch the hands of a seated figure in orange robes with a long dark braid and an orange head wrap, who sits on an orange armchair with a yellow footstool. Several saffron-robed attendants stand around, one holding a bouquet of flowers, and men in white shirts stand nearby. Behind them a large banner shows a smiling man in an orange turban over a Kannada-language heading. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable candidate for a person, identifiable by the long hair, orange clothing and throne, though the appearance is uncertain; the bowing devotee is shown in a reverent gesture of honour.
