A photograph of a laughing man seated on an ornate gold throne with a red tiger-stripe cushion, draped in orange sannyasi robes over a red inner garment, with a long gold bead necklace featuring a golden pendant, a red bindi on his forehead, and long dark wavy hair. Behind him are garlands of white jasmine and red roses. A translucent glass or object is held in one hand, and an orange cloth lies on the armrest. The appearance matches the saffron-and-gold ceremonial presentation and long hair cues associated with a person, seated in an honoured role on the throne. The page places him at a July 2009 event with temple wedding rituals and darshan, but the image itself shows only the seated figure and flower garlands.
