A photograph of a seated, bare-chested man in a saffron-orange wrap and saffron turban, with a white flower garland around his neck and a rudraksha-style pendant on his chest, smiling as he touches a pendant on the necklace of a man in a white shirt who bows forward with his hands together. Behind them, several women in white and cream saris and white tops stand close, one holding a small steel bowl, and fresh flowers and petals cover the surface beside them. The saffron-clad figure shows distinctive long swept hair and ceremonial adornment, consistent with the page's reference to a person, though this is an appearance-based probable identification: a person, seated and giving blessing to a devotee in white.
