A photograph of a bald man in white dhoti and an orange-and-maroon printed shawl, wearing a dark blindfold over his eyes, holding a handheld microphone at chest height on a stage before dark red curtains. Beside him at left stands a younger man with a shaved head, white ritual clothes, a white tilak mark on his forehead, layered rudraksha malas and a gold-coloured pendant, hands folded in front. A man in white shirt stands partly visible behind the speaker, and a brass gong edge is visible at lower left. a person candidate: the blindfolded speaker wears only a white dhoti and orange shawl with no long hair, crown, saffron robe or ceremonial gold necklace, so the identity is uncertain.
