A photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a white forehead stripe, rudraksha-style beads and a heavy gold necklace, smiling as he places his right hand on the bald head of a man in a black jacket who is bowing with palms pressed together. Behind them stand floral garlands in red, white, yellow and purple on a gold-framed throne with a tiger-striped cushion, and a second robed figure with a red tilak stands at right. The setting is an evening stage with a red drape. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, saffron robes and ornate gold jewellery consistent with the page's reference, though this is an appearance-based label.
