A photograph of a man standing in profile in front of a seated audience in a hall with white pillars and dark wooden doors. He wears a rust-orange turban with a jewelled band, long dark braided hair falling down his back, a pink and white flower garland, a rust-brown wrap and gold armbands. A large crowd of mostly women in saffron, orange and white saris sits with palms pressed together in namaskar, some with red and white tilak marks. The figure appears to be a presentation candidate with several cues including long hair, turban, garland and ornate adornments, and the page states a person was present, so this is a person appearance-based label, not a confirmed identification.
