A long-haired person in an orange-red robe sits on a gilded throne with ornate golden carvings, red and black tiger-striped cushions, and yellow and red marigold garlands; a gilded lion head appears at the right. The seated figure, with a red tilak on the forehead, touches the forehead of a kneeling man in a white shirt and white dhoti, whose hand rests on the figure's arm. A backdrop of painted green foliage fills the background. The figure has long, swept-back dark hair and orange robes, but the page does not establish identity and face-based identification is not possible, so the a person candidacy is unsure.

A kneeling man in a white shirt bows forward, his hand touching the seated figure's cheek, while a saffron-robed attendant stands at the left beside a floral arrangement of yellow marigolds, red flowers and purple orchids. The seated figure with those saffron robes, long hair and distinctive ornaments matches the presentation of the a person candidate, but the appearance is not clearly established from this view, so this is marked as unsure.2008-10-19Photograph of a seated figure in an orange-red robe and long swept-back dark hair with a red bindi, placing both hands on the head of a kneeling devotee in a white kurta with a textured zigzag pattern.
