A photograph of a ceremonial stage decorated with garlands of marigold and flower petals arranged in fan-like panels. A smiling man seated on a white cushioned seat wears a light orange-and-cream wrap, a saffron-and-cream cloth on his head, and a multicolour flower garland. A devotee in a white kurta with an orange shawl stands before him with raised arms, while a man in an orange robe on the left holds a microphone. A woman with long dark hair and a white top stands at right. The seated man shows the long swept-back hair and ceremonial adornments of a candidate for a person, but the appearance is not conclusive, so the identity is recorded as unsure.
