A photograph of a man standing barefoot on a stage at the left, smiling and raising his right hand in a greeting. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a gold ceremonial necklace, and long garlands of red, yellow, purple and white flowers. Beside him stands a golden pair of horses on a red-draped pedestal. Behind them, two golden metal deity murtis are richly adorned with multicoloured flower garlands, gold crowns, jewelled necklaces and yellow silk drapery, with a pink backdrop and brass oil lamps framing the scene. The man shows distinctive visible cues including a rudraksha-style garland and ceremonial gold necklace, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.
