A woman in a gold-yellow sari kneels beside him with hands folded in namaste. Standing devotees in white dhotis, white shirts and rudraksha malas watch, some holding small plates.

A photograph inside a bright hall with white walls and an orange-and-red floor mat. A person with long, swept-back black hair, wearing an orange saffron garment and a long gold-beaded necklace, sits on an orange-draped seat and extends a hand to a devotee. Several men in white shirts, white dhotis and some with yellow shawls kneel or stand close by, some with folded hands. A tray of bananas sits on the orange cloth in the foreground, and a standing fan is at right. Behind the group, a row of people in white stands near a golden deity murti at left. Appearance-based a person: a long-haired figure in saffron with gold-beaded mala seated and receiving devotees, described as a person.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long saffron shawl sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, with a white tripundra mark on his forehead, a rudraksha-style beaded necklace, a gold chain and a bracelet, smiling as he faces a small group.

Around him, a woman in a maroon sari with folded hands and a girl in a pink patterned top kneel in prayer, a man in a white kurta with folded hands sits near a camera, and a man in a green shirt sits at the right. Several more people sit in the dim background near a curtain, with a white-walled room and a wall light behind them.
