Photograph of a seated figure in a red top and orange shawl, wearing a white and green jasmine-and-rose garland, extending an arm toward a young man in white kurta with an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala. Behind them stand several young men in white, one with a white tilak on the forehead and an orange shawl, and a gold-framed ornate throne with floral garlands is visible at the upper right. Another man at left, in white with a white cloth over the shoulder, bites a white sweet or prasad. The seated figure is an appearance-based a person candidate (long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, orange shawl, floral garland, ornate throne), but the appearance is not fully distinctive enough to confirm.
