A photo of a seated man with long dark hair and a brown-red shawl, hands pressed together in namaskar, smiling as he sits on an ornate gold-and-pearl throne. Beside him, a woman in a white blouse and brown shawl sits on the floor and a young woman in an orange-and-cream top leans in, both seated and apparently receiving or offering something in front of the altar. Behind them stands a deity murti draped in a magenta cloth, adorned with layered gold garlands, and a silver staff stands near the throne amid potted plants. The man's appearance, with long swept hair, a brown wrap and distinctive ceremonial setting, is consistent with the page's a person reference, though the face-independent cues are only partly distinctive, so the identity is uncertain. Three people are visible.
