A group photo in a decorated room with floral garlands and a draped backdrop of pink, red, yellow and purple flowers. At centre, a seated man with long dark hair wears an orange saffron robe and a white-and-green flower garland, raising one hand in blessing. Around him, family members and devotees stand and kneel: a woman in a white sari with gold trim, an older man in a white shirt, a woman in a grey sari with gold border, a woman in a blue sari holding a toddler in a pink outfit, a girl in a pink dress, a man in a striped blue shirt kneeling in front, and a small boy in white on the right. The seated figure's appearance and orange robe with long hair and adornments are consistent with a person candidate, but this is an uncertain identification.
