A smiling man with long dark hair and a gold-and-orange shawl, wearing a white flower garland, bows his head while an older man in a white kurta and glasses places a multicolored flower crown on his head. A rudraksha mala hangs on the older man's neck beside a microphone stand. Behind them a large portrait shows a smiling man with a swept-back turban and ornate gold necklaces against an orange background, flowers and garlands hang from the ceiling, and the photo is watermarked. Appearance-based candidate (probable) for the figure receiving the crown, who wears long swept-back hair, an orange-and-gold shawl and a garland, so the depiction is consistent with the page's claim.
