A photograph of two men seated on the floor in white ritual clothing, hands pressed together in anjali mudra with eyes closed. The man in front is bald and wears wire-rimmed glasses and a plain white kurta. Behind him sits a younger man with a shaved head, glasses and a dark rudraksha mala over a white shirt. In the foreground are silver plates holding a red flower, a pink flower and a white offering, with a gold tray beneath them. A patterned sari or fabric edge appears at the left edge of the frame, and a red wall is visible in the background. No one in the scene wears saffron or ornate a person-style clothing, so no identity candidate is claimed.
