A photograph of a bearded man with grey hair reclining on an ornate golden-brown cushioned seat in front of a carved dark wooden screen. He wears a pink robe and a small red tilak on his forehead, and one hand rests on a dark book. Beside him, a lion-headed armrest is visible. Several figures in saffron-orange robes stand in the background, and a blurred figure in orange kneels on the carpet at right, apparently bowing or prostrating. A pale patterned rug lies on the floor, and a small tray of flower petals sits at the lower left. a person is the reclining figure in pink, identified by his long white beard, grey hair, forehead mark and pink robe on the throne-like seat; a dress-based appearance cue only, not a confirmed identity.
