A photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver throne wearing a deep red turban, a red-brown dhoti and sash, a long pink and white flower garland, and bead bracelets. He rests one hand on a tall silver staff beside a white cooler. Around him stand several young men in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas, some with long hair piled up, one raising an arm, and one holding a yellow-handled fan or whisk. A photographer on the left, bare-chested and in orange, aims a large camera. Striped mats cover the floor. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's description but the image alone does not confirm it, so he is described by role as the seated person on the throne.
