A photograph of a long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe seated on a whitewashed block ledge, smiling and turned to his left, wearing a white and red jasmine garland with a red flower cluster hanging to his knees and a brown bead necklace beneath it. A small red bindi is on his forehead and yellow petals are scattered around his bare feet. Behind him stands a decorated pavilion with striped red, green, yellow and pink floral garlands, a deity murti dressed with white and red flower garlands in a shrine niche, a silver kalasha-style vessel, and ceiling fans to the left. One person is physically present. Appearance cues are consistent with a person, but the page does not state he attended this event, so identity is uncertain.
