A photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron robe and red sleeveless undershirt on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions, decorated with red and white flower garlands. Devotees surround him: a woman in a lavender blouse and white sari adorns the throne, a woman in a white sari with a long braid stands at left, a man in a white shirt bends forward at right, and a young boy in a blue-and-white striped shirt reaches toward the seated figure. Overhead, a canopy of red, white and pink drapes is hung with marigold and flower garlands. Appearance is consistent with the figure but the page does not state he is present, so identity is uncertain; the seated man is described by role only.
