The figure appears to be a presentation candidate with several cues including long hair, turban, garland and ornate adornments, and the page states a person was present, so this is a person appearance-based label, not a confirmed identification.2016-12-06A photograph of a ceremonial event with a central figure walking along a striped runner toward a stage.
