Outdoor photo beside a gilded ornate throne with a red cushioned seat and bolster, under a fringed canopy in green, red, yellow and blue. A smiling bearded man in rust-red robes, a thick brown bead necklace and a red tilak on his forehead, rests both hands on a grey stone with red and yellow powder marks. Beside him stands a younger person with long dark hair, white body markings, rudraksha beads, an orange cloth and a wristwatch, holding the other side of the stone. A grey perimeter wall and a gate are behind them. The man's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, but cues are only moderate, so identity is uncertain; he is described by role as a robed devotee-priest.
