A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, wearing a saffron-orange robe, a multi-strand rudraksha mala, a long colourful flower garland in red, yellow and white, and a red tilak on his forehead, holding a red apple in each hand. A bald attendant in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala sits at left beside a golden trident, and a devotee in a striped grey shirt kneels at lower left. Behind the throne are carved gold and copper panels. A bowl of apples sits at lower right, and a person in orange-gold cloth is at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha cues on the throne, consistent with the page's reference to a Kumbh Mela event.
