I am using an image as a header

Like so:

 <header><hgroup>
            <figure>
              <img src="../img/mata.gif" alt=
              "Anandamayi Ma" class="hum"><br>
              <br>
               <img src="../img/shabda.png" alt="Anandamayi Ma" class="hum" />
			   </figure>
              <h3 class="kulwant">
                Spiritual Stars of the Golden Age
              <br>
               Anandamayi Ma<br>
                 (Ever Blissful Mother)<br>
                 <small>East Bengal, 1896 - 1982</small>
              </h3>
			  
			  
			  </hgroup></header>

Two images and text in the header group. 
First image is the name.
Second image is photo of person.
Then comes some descriptive text
Henri's validator says figure can't go in <header> or <hgroup> 

.
