A selfie-style photo taken in a small room with pale walls. In the foreground a smiling man with short grey hair, a red tilak on his forehead and a bare upper body, wears a rudraksha-style necklace and holds up his photo angle close to the lens. Behind him a seated man in a red turban and saffron-red robes, with long rudraksha malas and flower garlands, raises his hands in a blessing gesture before a golden throne-like seat (peetha) and a brass kalasha-style offering. A large gilded framed portrait on the wall shows a figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala, seated against green foliage, and a smaller framed portrait of another robed figure hangs to the left, with a sign reading KAILASA COIMBATORE above. Flowers, a brass pot and offerings sit on a yellow cloth at the foreground. The seated figure in the turban has distinctive saffron-red attire and malas, but the appearance is uncertain, so he is described by role only.
