A photograph of a seated figure in a rust-coloured cloth and a long rudraksha mala, with long dark matted hair, extending a hand to touch the forehead of a kneeling man in a blue striped shirt and red-orange shawl. Beside them is a golden lion sculpture on a leopard-print cloth. Behind, several women in white, red and orange saris and wraps stand watching in a room with red drapes and a brass pillar. The seated figure's distinctive long hair and rudraksha mala are visible cues, but the appearance alone is not enough for a firm identification, so the candidate is marked unsure.
