Indoor photograph in a small room with pale blue walls and framed pictures. A man in a pale striped shirt stands at left with his hands clasped, a garland draped over his arm. Seated at right on a red cushioned seat, a smiling bare-chested man with swept-back long hair wears a red-orange shawl, a brown rudraksha mala and gold armlets and gestures with an open hand. Behind him a shaved-headed attendant in orange robes and a beaded mala holds a tall silver staff, and a man in a white dhoti and a photographer in a red-orange cloth stand nearby. On the floor, a striped mat holds brass plates, a small oil lamp, fruits and offerings.
