A photograph of an orange-robed figure seated on an orange-draped throne, eyes closed, one hand resting on the chest and the other on the armrest. A man in white ritual clothes kneels beside the throne, reaching toward the robes. Behind them a framed portrait shows a smiling figure in orange with a white beaded necklace, and garlands of pink and yellow flowers hang from the frame. A white box fan and a small table with a gold-patterned cloth sit at left. The seated figure's long dark hair, orange robes and rudraksha-free neck do not clearly establish identity, so the appearance is uncertain.
