A photograph of a long-haired man with long dreadlocks and a bare-chested red-brown garment embracing a person in white ritual clothing at a gilded red-velvet throne. He wears a rudraksha mala around the neck, a gold bangle and a white forehead mark, and is smiling. Behind them women in cream and gold-bordered saris, one in orange, and a man in rust-coloured clothing stand near green foliage and a red curtain. Gold ornaments and red-and-gold patterned fabric are visible. The embracing figure has distinctive long dreadlocks, a rudraksha mala and a gilded throne setting, consistent with a person candidate, though the face is not clearly determinable. The embraced person wears white ritual dress and a red cloth on the head.
