A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair, a white-painted forehead, and a heavy garland of red roses, white jasmine and yellow flowers draped across his shoulders and lap, receiving devotees in a small room. Women in white and cream sarees with gold borders, one in a red-and-gold saree and others in pale and patterned saris, stand close and some hold red flowers and lemons. A woman in a white blouse and rust-coloured saree leans in, holding lemons, and a young woman in a purple-and-yellow outfit bends forward. Pink petals and a black embroidered mat lie on the floor, and a standing fan, a television and a framed picture hang on the walls. Several young men in orange and cream robes and rudraksha malas stand at the back. The man in the garland is a person (long hair, garland and devotional setting), seated and in person; the others are devotees.
