The Clue was “Knight rising and greeting the saint (5)”. The Answer was “RISHI”. This is a charade clue. Knight is “SIR”. Rising is the reversal indicator seen in “Down” clues and “Hi” is the greeting. The annotation is RIS<- HI. The definition is “The Saint”.

We are delighted to share this recent press article in the Gulf Weekly magazine about our book with our readers. The e-version of the article is at http://www.gulfweekly.com/Articles/41103/Cryptic-on-the-move. In this connection, I also made a special themed crossword for the readers which is available at http://1across.org/1ACGrids/GW.html. Anyone interested can give it a shot and submit, although the signed copy of the book can be given only to a Bahrain resident.
I couldn’t see the picture with clue. Hence no answer from me
