A photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with a white and red flower garland, on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, smiling as a man in a cream kurta bends forward to touch or greet his hand. Two men in white attire stand nearby; a man on the left wears an orange shawl over white clothes. Behind the throne, gold lamps and red-orange draped fabric frame a deity murti decorated with yellow and orange flower garlands. The seated figure has long swept-back dark hair and wears orange clothing with garlands and a cream-coloured fabric beneath; the appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, though the identification is uncertain.
