A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an orange cushion placed on a low wooden platform, hands pressed together in namaste with eyes closed. He wears a saffron-orange robe draped over his shoulders and a long rudraksha mala around his neck, with long swept-back hair and a red bindi. Behind him, a man in white dhoti and an orange shawl sits with palms joined, and another person in white clothing sits beside a white stone structure decorated with red flower petals and a garland. In the lower left foreground, a small brass kalasha vessel sits on the ground amid ash and scattered petals. The figure in saffron with long hair, mala and ornate ceremonial presence matches the page's a person cues, so this is a probable identification in person.
