A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with a deep red cushion, a lion-head carved armrest and garlands of yellow, orange and red flowers around the backrest. The seated person wears an orange saffron robe, has long dark hair and a gold bangle, and smiles as a man in a white collared shirt bends forward offering a red fruit, possibly an apple, while touching the seated person's hand. A line of people in white shirts stands behind, with orange-robed attendants nearby, and a bowl of fruit sits at the base of the throne. The seated figure shows distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron clothing consistent with the page's Guru Poornima event, so this is a probable in-person candidate; the appearance is uncertain enough that the field is set to unsure. Several other people are visible in the room.
