A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair tied in a bun, bare-chested and wearing rudraksha-style beaded garlands with gold ornaments, orange-yellow tilak marks on his forehead, and a red-orange cloth draped over his shoulders. He reaches up to touch the forehead of a short-haired man in a white hooded top with a red-and-maroon patterned scarf, who closes his eyes and raises a hand to his face. A gilded lion-head throne armrest and a silver staff are visible, with a gold-and-cream backdrop. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page reference, so he is described as a person, giving a blessing to a devotee.
