A photograph of a man standing outdoors beside a large banyan tree with dense aerial roots. He stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, wearing a deep red wrap and a red garment with a gold-trimmed hem, layered gold necklaces and gold armlets. Behind him are a low stone wall, steps, bare earth and a glass-fronted box at right. The pose is devotional and reverent. Appearance is not enough to confirm the page's claim, so his identity is uncertain and he is described by role only.
