Indoor photograph of a seated man in an orange saffron garment with long dark swept-back hair and two white flower garlands, holding a dark cane or staff and extending it toward a young woman in a green sari who holds a bundle wrapped in a beige cloth with pink. Behind them a man in white with an orange shawl stands, another man in orange stands at right, and a woman in a pink sari stands at far right holding a small object. A low white-cushioned seat, a tray with red and blue packets, a red apple, and a dark curtain and a fan are visible. The seated man has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and garlands, consistent with a probable appearance of a person; the role is a seated devotee-receiving figure.
