A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with gold trim, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a red bindi, holding a small folded white paper. He sits on a gold-framed throne before a dark curtain and a red box with a gold panel. Opposite him, a man in a grey-and-white striped polo kneels and extends his hands, adorned with rings, to receive the paper. A bare-chested seated figure with distinctive adornments and a swept-back hairstyle matches the presentation of the a person candidate, so appearance suggests a probable identity, but the cues are not conclusive. Two physical people are visible, the kneeling man and the seated figure.
