A photograph inside a temple hall with a deity murti and gold-draped altar in the background. A long-haired man in an orange-saffron robe with a rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders, bare-chested beneath the wrap, leans forward and places a hand toward a seated man in a brown vest and olive shirt who holds his palms together and smiles, holding a folded white paper in one hand and wearing a wristwatch and red thread. A bald man in saffron stands behind, a child in a green shirt and a raised-hand adult stand at the left edge, and a pink curtain hangs in the window. The long-haired figure has distinctive long hair and saffron clothing with a rudraksha mala, a compatible presentation of the a person candidate, though the appearance is only partly clear.
