Photograph of a long-haired figure in a saffron-orange draped garment with gold border, wearing a gold-beaded necklace, standing barefoot on a concrete floor in a courtyard with red and white walls. Behind, a shaved-headed man in white dhoti and shawl with gold-bordered cloth, a sacred thread-style mala and a tilak on the forehead stands with palms joined near a barred window. To the right, an ornately carved wooden stand supports a silver vessel. One figure is a person in orange with long hair and gold necklaces, plausibly a person by appearance cues alone; the second man is a priest-like attendant in white.
