A photograph of a seated man in a maroon-red turban with a peacock-feather ornament and gold crescent pieces, wearing a maroon shawl and a heavy gold necklace with a large gold pendant. He sits before an ornate gold peacock-fan backrest, with a bare-chested priest in white dhoti and green-bordered cloth at left holding an object in his hands. A woman in white with a blue border stands at right, and a golden shrine lamp glows in the background. A seated figure bears distinctive ceremonial adornments and red-and-gold clothing; he is a person in an appearance-based sense and the seating and setting are consistent with a satsang or ceremony.
