A photograph of an outdoor covered pavilion with a tiled floor and a plain wall behind, with banana plants visible beyond. A seated figure in long dark wavy hair and a saffron-orange robe with a gold necklace rests one hand on the head of a seated man in a checked orange-and-blue shirt and beige trousers, who sits on a green plastic chair. Around them stand several men: a bare-chested man in a white dhoti with orange tilak marks on his shoulder, an older bare-chested man in a white dhoti, a young man in white kurta, a man in an orange shawl, and a bare-chested bearded man in a white dhoti wearing gold chains. A seated older man in glasses and white clothes sits in a wheelchair at the left edge. The scene appears to be a blessing being given to the seated man. The figure in saffron has long, swept-back hair, a gold necklace and saffron robes, which are cues consistent with the page's identification; the appearance is a probable match.
