A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a long swept-back hair, wearing a multi-strand red, yellow and turquoise flower garland and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace, smiling with eyes closed while his right hand rests on the head of a bowing devotee in a white shirt. A second devotee in an orange-and-saffron shawl bows nearby. He sits on a red velvet throne-like seat with a zebra-print cushion, backdropped by a large arrangement of red, yellow and white flowers and an orange kolam-patterned banner. The appearance of the seated figure with rudraksha-style adornments and ornate gold necklace is a probable match for a person receiving devotees, with the bowing people as devotees.
