A photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver throne with a red cushioned seat, holding a tall silver staff topped with a finial in his raised right hand. He wears a rust-red draped robe, a gold chain necklace with a long gold beaded strand, gold armbands and a gold wristband, and has long dark hair swept back with a tilak mark on his forehead. A silver stand with a Yamaha keyboard or device rests beside the throne. Behind him, a dense crowd of seated devotees in white and orange clothing fills the hall, several with bare upper bodies and white garments, and a red-cushioned area is visible. The appearance of the central figure is consistent with the page's a person reference, though this is an appearance-based judgement only.
