A two-panel photograph of a person with an elderly white-bearded sadhu in saffron robes. On the left, a smiling man with dark hair and a red-brown wrap over a striped gold-edged garment walks past a red carpet beside a decorated palanquin with ornate pink and gold canopy; a saffron-robed sadhu with a long white beard holds a tall staff beside him. On the right, the same bearded elder in saffron holds a carved wooden staff while a smiling man in a brown-and-gold wrap with a rudraksha mala stands with hands clasped; saffron-clad attendants carry a tall white ceremonial pole behind them, and a dark shivalinga-like object and yellow flower garland appear at the top right. Caption at bottom reads a visit at Adi Kailaasa Sarvajnapeetham in 2014.
