A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-saffron robe on an ornate gold and red throne, garlanded with red and white flower garlands, hands joined in namaskar with eyes closed. A man in white shirt and white trousers with an ID badge stands at left, hands joined, and several devotees sit on the floor around the throne with hands raised in anjali, including women in yellow, teal and cream saris and men in white shirts. Fruit trays and a water bottle sit on white-draped tables behind the throne. This appears to be a darshan or pooja session; the seated figure's appearance shows several cues (orange robe, garlands, throne, shaved-to-short hair not visible) that are consistent with the page's named figure, but identity is uncertain.
