A smiling man with long dark hair swept back, a red bindi on his forehead and a vibhuti mark, stands bare-chested except for an orange-saffron wrap draped over one shoulder. He wears a thick garland of red roses and white jasmine around his neck and holds a stack of printed papers in one hand. Behind him an indoor hall with pale yellow walls and a bright window holds a crowd of devotees, including an older woman with grey hair in a cream sari on the left and several men in shirts. The man has distinctive long hair, saffron wrap and ceremonial garland, a compatible presentation, but the appearance is not conclusive enough for a firm identification.
