Indoor photograph of two men in saffron-orange monastic clothes examining a manuscript. The man in front is bald, bare-shouldered, with a saffron shawl edged in gold, a rudraksha bracelet, and he holds a wooden-framed palm-leaf or book page open on a blue bench. Behind him a second man wears a long gold-bead necklace, a gold-trimmed saffron wrap, and a headband with a red tilak, leaning in to look. Stacked books and red-cushioned chairs with white poles are in the background, and a yellow curtain hangs above. Only these two people are visible; a child is partly seen at left.
