Indoor photo in a tiled hall. A tall man in a saffron-orange robe with a long pink and white flower garland stands at right, smiling, with one hand open toward two people prostrating on the floor. Two devotees lie flat in white ritual clothes: one face-down full-length, another kneeling forward with head bowed and gold-bordered white cloth. Behind them an altar niche holds a framed portrait garlanded with flowers, a small lamp, brass plates and a kalasha-like vessel. A staircase and open doorway are visible at right and left. The orange-robed man has long hair and matches the saffron-clad, garlanded appearance described in the album context, so his identity is probable but not certain from appearance alone.
