A photograph of a shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron robe with a white tilak on his forehead and a long rudraksha-style brown mala draped over his chest, placing his right palm on the forehead of a younger man in glasses, white shirt and an orange scarf printed with script. The older man is smiling. Behind them stands a silver trident and a golden lion-like figure with bamboo and green foliage in the background. The older figure's appearance does not clearly match the page's claim, so role-based description is used.
