A photograph of a ritual reception in a pink-walled room with a shelf of framed pictures. A man seated on a cushioned chair at left wears a white-and-red flower garland, orange-red cloth, gold armlets and a long swept-back hairstyle; his appearance is consistent with the a person cues described in the page, so this is a probable identification. Two young boys in orange robes and rudraksha malas stand behind him, and a seated man in white clothes holds a lit oil lamp flame in an aarti offering while a woman in white and a dark-haired woman in orange-yellow watch. Standing devotees in white and a monk in orange with rudraksha malas press palms together around the room, and a tray of flower petals sits in the foreground.
