A photograph taken indoors in a plain yellow-walled room with a barred window. A woman in a magenta printed kurta with a cream shawl and a vertical white-and-red Vaishnava-style forehead mark stands at left, gesturing with her hands while speaking to another woman at right. That woman wears a dark navy fleece top, a brown crossbody bag, glasses and pink bear-ear headphones, and is reaching toward the first woman with her hand. In the foreground a large steel tray holds a pale golden-brown food. Behind them hangs a framed poster with four photographs of a seated and standing ascetic in orange robes and a patterned panel, captioned in English with phrases such as "A growing Consciousness", "A burning quest", "Lost in the Divine" and "First photograph in sannyasa - at 10 years of age". Bags and folded cloth lie on a bench at left.
