A photograph of a seated man on an ornate golden throne with leopard-print cushions and gold lion armrests, backed by a large decorated arch with a dense yellow flower garland. He wears a rust-orange robe, a white-and-pink flower garland, and a white forehead mark, and holds a tray with folded cloth. A woman in a white top stands at right and a devotee in a blue-and-purple sari kneels at the bottom, with other people in colourful traditional dress along the edges. The appearance matches the page's a person candidate only partially: a bearded man in orange robes on a throne, so identity is uncertain.

Photograph of a ceremonial scene with a bearded man seated on an ornate golden throne draped in a leopard-print cushion, backed by a large arch of yellow marigold garlands and a decorated silver-and-navy backdrop. He wears an orange-brown robe, a pink-and-white bead garland, and a white forehead mark, and is smiling. In front, a bare-chested priest in white dhoti bends forward with a sacred thread across his back, while a woman in a teal blouse and checked sari bows with her head bowed, and a man in an orange silk kurta with long dreadlocked hair rests his hands on her head. Attendants in white and orange stand around the dais. The seated man shows cues consistent with the page's a person reference, including the bead garland and orange robe, so the appearance-based label is probable; the throne and honouring are not sufficient alone.2016-12-19December 19 20162016-12-19December 19 20162016-12-19A photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate golden throne with leopard-print upholstery and gilded lion armrests, backed by a large display of yellow marigold flowers and a jewel-embellished arch.
