A photograph of a seated man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing an orange saffron wrap, a gold ceremonial necklace and rudraksha malas, having white paste applied to his chest and face by a standing man in white kurta and dhoti. A second man in white sits at left with a red tilak, beside a microphone stand and a white fan. Behind them is a decorated altar with an ornate golden deity murti, marigold and white flower garlands, and orange and red embroidered canopies. The page indicates the seated man is a person, and his appearance has several matching cues, so this is a probable identification. Two physical people are visible.
