A photograph of a man standing beside a carved stone pillar in a temple setting, with a blurred wooden and red-toned interior behind him and wisps of incense smoke rising at the lower right. He has slicked-back dark hair, a small red bindi on his forehead, and wears a pale yellow shawl draped over one shoulder with a blue patterned border, along with a long multi-strand rudraksha mala hanging across his chest. He gazes to the side with a calm expression, and a brass ritual vessel is partly visible at the bottom edge. Appearance-based cues are not distinctive enough to name him, so his identity remains uncertain and he is described by role only.

A man with long dark wavy hair and a red-orange dhoti-style wrap stands holding a small brass oil lamp with a flame in his joined hands, with incense smoke rising beside him. He wears multiple strands of rudraksha beads with gold-tone bead accents across his chest and on his arms and wrists, and has a red tilak mark on his forehead. Behind him is an orange wall, and a brass incense holder with a stick sits on the table in front. The figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, presented through long hair, rudraksha malas and saffron-red clothing, but the identification is uncertain from appearance alone.
