A photograph in a temple-style hall shows an elderly man with a white vibhuti line on his forehead and glasses, seated on a red cushioned seat before a large gilded throne backdrop. He wears an orange robe under a pink and gold brocade shawl and smiles. Two attendants in rust-red dhotis with yellow borders stand beside him, one on the left with a bare upper body and one on the right in a red turban with a bare back, both with white ash markings on their arms. The attendant on the right offers a golden bowl containing fruits or offerings. Painted deity figures with gold crowns stand behind them, and a brass lamp stand is at the right edge.
