A photograph of a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes reclining on a throne-like seat heaped with garlands of red, pink, yellow and white flowers. He raises one hand in a blessing gesture while smiling, and a golden figure, possibly a deity murti, rests near his feet. Behind him, several seated people in white and orange clothing sit on the floor. Visible identity cues: long swept-back hair, saffron robes, and a garlanded throne; the page names a person.
