A photograph in a plain room with cream walls, a white door and a red curtain. A man in a white shirt on the left holds the edge of a magenta silk shawl with gold zari borders. A figure in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a red bindi, with his hair swept back, is stretching the shawl high, smiling. Another man in orange robes stands partly hidden beside him. On the right, a bearded man in orange robes sits by a bed draped with an orange leopard-print cloth and a yellow cover. Appearance-based identity is uncertain, so the figure in the orange robe with the rudraksha mala is described only by his role as a devotee in ceremonial attire.
