A photograph in a hall with white tiled floor and a red curtain. A woman in orange sari with rudraksha mala sits on the floor at left, holding a steel bowl of yellow rice. Two women kneel before a cream upholstered chair draped with marigold garlands, a framed portrait on it showing a man in orange robes, and a small footstool and rug in front. The kneeling woman in red sari smiles and holds grains of rice in her hands, while another woman in green blouse with mala beads watches. A man in white dhoti stands at right beside a wooden podium. The portrait's face is not clearly enough visible to confirm who it depicts, so no identification is made.
