A photograph taken indoors in a small room with white walls and a wooden cabinet with flowers and small figurines on the left. A seated figure in the centre wears an orange-red turban, a white garland of flowers and a green leaf on the forehead, and sits on a red-cushioned sofa while people crowd around. Devotees surround him: a young woman in a green and pink sari with a dot on her forehead and gold jewellery, a woman in a red blouse with a white flower garland in her hair, an elderly woman with grey hair at the right edge, and a young man in an orange robe with rudraksha beads kneeling close by. A man in a white shirt holds a video camera at centre, and a shaven-headed man in orange and white stands in the background near the doorway. The scene suggests a padapuja with devotees gathered around a seated teacher.
