A photograph of a seated man in a plain white kurta wearing a long double strand of dark rudraksha beads and a white cord with a small pendant. He has short dark hair, a tilak on his forehead, and is turned to his left with a slight smile. Behind him, out of focus, a bearded older man in a red-and-white checked shawl and other seated attendees fill a bright hall with white walls. The mood is an attentive, calm assembly.
