A photograph of a seated man in an orange robe on a golden throne (peetha) heavily decorated with white jasmine garlands and orange, red and yellow flowers. He wears a long multicolour garland of white, blue, pink and green flowers and smiles while resting one hand on the throne's armrest. Behind him are blue and pink draped cloths and tall bamboo poles with orange bows. Seated on the floor in front are several people in orange robes, including young boys and a woman in white at the right edge. A microphone stands at the side. A man in the throne photo with a visible orange-robed sannyasi-style appearance and long hair has a probable identity cue of distinctive hair and orange clothing, so the appearance-based label applies.
