A photograph of a bearded man in an orange-saffron robe, with long curly dark hair and a small red tilak on his forehead, extending his right hand palm-outward toward a man in a dark brown long-sleeved shirt and a beige flower garland. The garland-wearing man has his hands pressed together at his chest with head bowed. Behind them are a red-painted wooden column, orange draped cloth, a carved grey stone pillar with a relief figure, and green foliage through a window grille. A brass vessel sits in the lower foreground. The orange-robed man has long swept hair and a bearded face consistent with the page's reference to a person, but appearance alone is not conclusive, so the identification is uncertain.
