A photograph of a devotional ceremony in a draped red and maroon setting with a garland-wrapped pillar. A man in a tall ornate golden throne wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a long rudraksha mala and gold beaded necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and white tilak, and smiles while holding out a gold-edged book or card. A man in a grey polo kneels with palms joined, receiving it. Behind them stand a man in an orange-and-gold robe with a rudraksha mala and a man in white with a tilak, and a cameraman with a video camera on a tripod is visible. The figure on the throne has long swept-back hair and distinctive ceremonial adornments, which qualifies him as a person appearance match. A small wall fan is also present.
