Indoor photograph in a white-walled hall with a dark red curtain behind. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a long orange-and-cream flower garland sits on a white cushioned seat with a red pillow, holding a banana-like offering toward a standing man in white ritual clothes with an orange shawl over his shoulder, who is bald and barefoot and bows slightly. Around them stand several men in white shirts, beige trousers and a maroon shirt, watching and smiling, with a tall figure in a white dhoti and yellow-trimmed top in the background. The seated person has long swept-back hair and distinctive saffron robes and garland cues, so the appearance-based label applies, while the ritual context is a devotee offering fruit at a seat.
