Outdoor photo of a seated man on an ornate red and gold throne, wearing orange sannyasi-style robes, a leopard-print shawl draped over his shoulders, a rudraksha mala, and a red tilak on his forehead, with long dark hair; his eyes are closed and he smiles. An older man in a white sweatshirt, black knit cap and grey trousers kneels before him, holding up a thread or string near his face while the seated figure raises a hand. A leopard-print mat lies on the ground, and a banner with a portrait of a smiling figure in an orange turban and the word Anandotsava is behind them. Orange cloth covers the floor and a pink wall is in the background. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the a person candidate cues described on the page, but the identification is uncertain, so the role is given as a seated man receiving a ritual.
