Photograph of a man in a red-orange robe draped over his shoulders, wearing a long garland of white jasmine strands alternating with dark red flowers that hangs to his waist with a red flower tassel. He stands on steps in bright daylight, smiling slightly. Behind him, a man in an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala stands at right, and a crowd of devotees in white and orange clothing watches, including a woman in a grey-blue shawl with hands joined. A man in orange robes stands at far right with a bangle on his wrist. At left, a person in white dhoti holds a brass tray with red flowers. The central figure has long dark hair swept back, a crown-less head with a small tilak, and distinctive ceremonial garland cues, but the appearance is not certain enough to confirm identity.
