A blurred photograph of a middle-aged man in a plain white shirt at an indoor event, with a hand pressed to his forehead by someone whose long dark hair is in the left foreground. Behind him stand other people in white clothing, one wearing a pendant on a cord and an orange garment at the right edge, under a green-tinted light. A white fan is visible at upper left. The man's presentation shows no distinctive a person cues such as saffron or ornate clothing, a crown, or rudraksha malas, so his identity is uncertain.
