A photograph taken through a doorway into a stone-pillared hall. In the foreground, a man in a plain white shirt and white dhoti, with red tilak on his forehead and a wristband, walks toward the camera. Behind him, a man in an orange-red saffron robe and a yellow-orange garland smiles and walks down the corridor, with a bare-chested or lightly clad figure and other people in white and orange clothing behind. The walls are bare grey stone with a blue-painted door frame, and a few more people are visible in the background. Possible a person candidate: the man in the saffron robe and garland is described by the page, but his shaved or short head and garland give only limited cues, so identity is uncertain.
