A photo inside a plain room with orange-red walls and a gold-framed red velvet throne-like chair.

Opposite him, a kneeling man in a white shirt and orange shawl with a white flower garland and rudraksha-style beads holds a small yellow cloth-wrapped object and papers. Nearby, a woman in a sari and two shaven-headed men in orange robes and beads stand or sit, one holding a brass tray of yellow offerings; a standing man in orange with a mala moves at right.
