A photograph of a man seated before an ornate gold throne-like chair, backed by garlands of yellow, red and green flowers. He wears an orange saffron shawl over his bare upper body, a heavy gold bead necklace with ornate gold pendant beads, and has white horizontal lines on his forehead with a red bindi. His short dark hair is combed back. He smiles as he raises one hand toward a woman in a white sari with a gold border, who stands at right and extends her hand toward him, as if offering a greeting or blessing. Garlands and a gilded backdrop frame the scene. Appearance-based a person cues include the saffron wrap, gold beads and ceremonial seating, but the face and long hair cues are less distinctive, so identity is uncertain.

A photograph of a seated man in orange saffron robes and multiple gold necklaces, with a white vertical tilak and red bindi, sitting on an ornate gold throne in front of garlands of yellow, orange and red flowers. He holds a sheet of paper and smiles while an older man in a white shirt raises his palm toward him in greeting, and a woman in a cream lace top stands at the right edge. The seated man has distinctive ceremonial adornments and orange clothing, so this is a person appearance; the setting suggests a seated public satsang or ritual reception.
