A photograph taken indoors in a room with a floral-cushioned swing seat, a white quilted cover and a potted plant. A person in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange turban sits on the white cover, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a red bindi, smiling and holding hands with a man in a beige patterned shirt and grey trousers seated beside them. Bare feet are visible on the robe side. In the lower left, a foreground arm in a pale embroidered garment holds another hand. A large arched window and a framed wall ornament appear behind. The orange robe and turban are visible cues, but the identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the person is described by role as a robed figure in orange.
