A photograph of a seated man in a red-orange draped robe with a bare right shoulder, speaking with his right hand raised in a gesture, on a stage. He wears a tall dark matted hair bun with rudraksha beads, white tilak on his forehead, a gold pendant on a chain, and a bracelet on his left wrist. Behind him a large backdrop shows a painted scene of a figure in a loincloth holding a staff and a blue robed figure. A brass staff stands to his left and a round fan is visible at right. The man is the only physical person shown, and the appearance cues (matted hair with beads, ochre robe, pendant) are consistent with the page's a person reference, though the match is only probable.
