A smiling man sits cross-legged on a carved wooden seat with a dark red cushion, against the gnarled aerial roots and trunk of a large banyan tree on bare earth. He wears an orange turban with a red bindi, an orange robe, and a long rudraksha mala, and raises one hand in a blessing gesture. The appearance is consistent with a person, given the orange and rudraksha cues and the page's reference to a person at this event, so the identity is taken as.
