A photograph on a stage in front of an ornate gold throne with carved floral relief. A standing man in a bright orange robe and a light shawl with red stripes bends forward and rests his right hand on the head of a seated person. The seated person wears a rust-orange turban, a garland of pink and white flowers, a brown-and-gold garment and multiple bangles, and sits on a maroon cushion with bare feet. A microphone stand stands in front and green foliage is at the lower left. A purple backdrop sits behind. The bowing man has white hair and a white beard and wears glasses; the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so he is described by role only. Two physical people are visible.

A brass oil lamp stands beside them against a pink and red cosmic backdrop. The bowing devotee and the seated person are both physically present. The seated figure has a distinctive turban and ceremonial garlanding, but the appearance is not conclusive, so the candidate is uncertain.2015-10-26January 13 20152015-01-13A standing figure with long swept-back dark hair, a white tilak on the forehead, a marigold garland, a pale pink shawl and rust-brown dhoti with a gold waistband and gold armlet, reaches down to bless a shaved-headed monk in orange robes who bends forward with hands raised.
