A photograph of a seated person in a saffron-orange kurta with long dark hair, hands pressed together in namaskar, wearing a garland of white roses and yellow-purple flowers. A woman in a green sari and a man in a white kurta kneel on a patterned rug, one pouring liquid from a vessel over the seated person's bare feet into a brass plate, as a padapuja-style washing. A small oil lamp burns on the rug, and a folded white and gold-striped cloth lies over the chair. A white-and-blue open door and a mirror are visible in the room.
