A seated figure in an orange saffron turban and orange shawl, bare-shouldered, wearing a white flower garland with yellow fruit, reaches toward a large framed glass-covered picture held by a group of men in white shirts and white dhotis. A woman in a white sari with gold jewellery stands behind them, and devotees in white and orange clothing gather in a room with floral curtains. The figure wears distinctive saffron turban and garland cues, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm the identity, so the candidate is marked unsure and described by role as a seated devotee-guest. The framed picture shows a figure but its details are not legible.
