A man in a rust-orange and gold turban, wearing a long garland of white jasmine and red flowers with a rudraksha-style bead string and gold necklace, reads from a yellow printed sheet with a red emblem. He is bare-chested with a gold armlet and bangles. Facing him, a man in a white shirt holds his palms together in respectful greeting. Behind them, devotees in saffron and white clothing, including a woman in a white sari with gold jewellery and a monk in a saffron shawl, look on. The man in the turban appears to be a person candidate based on the turban, garland and ornaments, presented in a ceremonial reading role.2013-07-06June 22 20092009-06-22October 24 20152015-10-24July 09 20122012-07-09January 04 20152015-01-04A seated man in orange saffron robes and long dark hair, wearing a red bindi and garlands of white and red roses, smiles broadly and raises one hand in greeting from a gilded throne.
