Indoor photo of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a red-orange shawl, wearing a multi-colour flower garland, holding a silver ceremonial staff, on an orange cushioned seat in a room with floral decorations. Around him, saffron-robed young men sit with hands folded, a girl in a yellow-and-gold dress holds a lit oil lamp, and devotees in white and gold saris and white shirts kneel or stand with palms pressed together. A man in a white shirt photographs the scene with a camera, and a framed portrait with a garland hangs on the wall. The setting suggests a puja or aarti. Visible people: about ten. The seated figure is an appearance-based candidate but cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity.
