A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a red tilak on his forehead sits on a white-covered throne-like chair in front of dark red velvet drapes, extending his hand in a blessing gesture. Before him a woman with long grey-streaked hair in an orange top and white shawl kneels with palms pressed together in devotion. A microphone stand stands at the right edge, and a small table with flower garlands sits behind the kneeling devotee. The page identifies this as the November 14, 2006 Children's Day event, and the man shows the visible cues of long swept hair, saffron clothing and a throne, so he is labelled a person in this photo depicting a devotee receiving blessing.
