A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair tied back and a white forehead mark with a red dot, wearing a rust-orange wrap with gold trim and a rudraksha-style brown mala, raising his right palm high to slap hands with an older bald man in a white short-sleeved shirt and blue patterned tie who raises his palm in return. The seated man holds a small dark book in his left hand, and gold-colored ceremonial pieces are visible beside him. Behind them are a white panel, a dark speaker and a red-and-gold chair edge. The seated man matches the appearance-based a person cues of long swept hair, saffron-orange clothing and rudraksha mala, so he is labelled a person. The older man is a devotee greeting him.
