A photograph of a seated man in a saffron-red robe and dark turban, palms pressed together in anjali at a microphone, eyes closed. He wears multiple rudraksha malas and beaded bracelets. Behind him stand dark deity murti with garlands of yellow and red flowers, a red-and-gold draped cloth, and a white-robed shivalinga-like sculpture with tripundra markings. Silver and brass ritual vessels, a brass lamp stand and a small silver incense or puja bowl sit in the foreground. A small brass figurine stands at left. The sole physical person is the seated man, presented as a candidate by the page; his saffron robe, dark turban, multiple rudraksha malas and ceremonial adornments are visible, so the identification is probable.
