A photograph of a long-haired man in orange robes seated on an ornate gold throne decorated with white and multicoloured flower garlands and red cushions. A devotee in an orange robe stands at right, holding a large silver bowl toward him, while flower petals are scattered across the platform in front. The throne is framed by white and purple flower arrangements. The seated man wears a flower garland and an orange cloth, and has long swept-back hair, a visible appearance cue consistent with the page's a person reference, so this is an appearance-based probable identification. The attendant is pouring or offering from the bowl as part of a biksha offering.
