A photograph inside a hall with white walls and a clock, where a central figure in a saffron-orange robe with a gold necklace and rudraksha-style garland stands smiling with palms pressed together in namaste. Beside him a bearded man wears an orange robe and a red-orange robed attendant walks behind. Around them, white-clad devotees with folded hands stand near a metal railing, and a decorated altar shows coconuts, marigold and garland decorations, and umbrellas. The figure with the gold necklace and long swept hair in saffron clothing matches the visible cues of a person, shown in person.
