A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and long swept-back dark hair, smiling, on a white-draped chair in front of a stone temple step with carved panels. A man in white with a saffron shawl and a grey beard sits to the left, and a man in white with an orange shawl sits at the right edge. A devotee in white kneels and bows his head toward the seated man's feet, which rest on a brass plate with flowers. A brass bell and a flower-decorated tray sit on the steps behind. The seated man's distinctive long hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala are visible cues, so this is a person appearance, shown in person.
