A photograph in a small room with orange-painted walls. A central figure with long dark hair and a vibhuti mark on the forehead sits on an orange-draped chair, wearing an orange robe, a pink and red flower garland, and a heavy gold bead necklace; he smiles while a man in a white shirt reaches toward him holding small objects. A framed photo on the wall shows a long-haired figure in orange. Another man in white and yellow sits at left, and a man in orange and a man in white shirt with rudraksha beads stand at right.
