A photograph of a shaved-headed man in an orange saffron robe and a long white-and-red flower garland kneels before a framed portrait garlanded with marigold-and-white flowers, gesturing toward it with one hand while a brass oil lamp and a brass plate with offerings sit on a white-draped table to the left. Behind him a group of men and boys in white shirts, white dhotis and a red shawl stand watching, one boy holding a red-and-white item, and a man in white holds a small brass bowl. Wall posters of robed sadhus hang on the cream walls, a cameraman in white films at the right, and a striped runner rug covers the floor. A ritual puja setting in an ashram room.
