A photograph taken indoors in front of a wall with a framed painting. In the foreground at left, a shirtless, grey-haired man with a red tilak on his forehead and beaded necklaces smiles toward the camera. Behind him, a figure seated on a cushioned seat wears a red-orange turban, red-orange robes, a green leaf garland and red flower garlands, and a rudraksha mala; the figure raises one palm in blessing. In front of the seat stands a brass kalasha with pink and red flowers, yellow marigolds and a green leaf bundle on a red cloth, with an oil lamp burning at the bottom and a brass bowl of flowers at right. A gilded throne-like ornament is at right. The image is a casual photo of a puja setting.
