A photograph of a formal dining room with a long wooden table set with white cloths, teacups, water bottles, steel bowls and glasses. An elderly bearded man in an orange-saffron robe and orange turban sits in a gold-trimmed red velvet throne at the left of the table. Across from him, a person in a dark red-brown robe with a tilak on the forehead gestures while speaking, with a camera lens visible at the right edge. Behind them, several men in red-orange dhotis and sacred thread stand against the wall, some with white-painted forehead marks and rudraksha malas; a bald man in a saffron-orange garment stands in the middle with hands clasped. Tables along the back hold bottles, metal vessels and fruit.
