A photo inside a small room with cream walls and a zebra-striped cushioned seat draped with a red flower garland and a white cloth. A figure in an orange saffron robe with a gold-bordered shawl, long dark hair, and a large medallion on a garland bows forward, appearing to touch the feet of a man in a white shirt and white dhoti who bends low. A man in a white shirt with a gold wristwatch stands beside them, and a figure in a green and gold sari is at the right edge. A small glass case with a deity murti sits in the background. The orange-robed figure matches the appearance cues of the page's subject, so the label is a person, though the face is not used for identification.
