A seated person in an orange-red garment with a long rudraksha mala and a white-and-red forehead mark places a hand on the crown of a shaven-headed devotee in a white t-shirt and rudraksha mala. The devotee's palms are pressed together in reverence, and a golden kalasha-like object and a peacock-feather fan sit nearby against orange-and-white slatted panels in a temple hall. Appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person candidate, but the presentation cues are limited to rudraksha and a red garment, so identity is uncertain.
