A photograph inside a temple hall with stone pillars and an arched doorway in the background. On the right, a seated figure in saffron-orange robes, with a shawl draped over the shoulder, wears a crown-like floral headdress and gold ornaments, and sits on an ornate gold throne draped in red cloth. The appearance matches the a person presence noted on the page, so this is a person candidate seated in the position of a pontiff. A man in white clothes bends low and touches the floor before the throne, while other men in white shirts and mundus, a man in a checked shirt, and a woman in a white sari with a brown border stand nearby watching. A man in a white shirt holds papers. Several onlookers stand in the background.
