A photograph in an indoor hall with beige walls and a blank flip chart on an easel. A man in a white shirt with a watch kneels on the left with palms pressed together in namaste, head bowed. Seated centre is a long-haired person in a saffron-orange robe holding a rudraksha mala and a small white card, smiling broadly. A woman in a white sari with an orange border stands at the right, smiling and holding a small object. A brass plate hangs on the wall behind and a cushion sits on a chair. The seated robed person shows appearance cues consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the identification is uncertain.

A smiling figure in an orange saffron robe and a red-and-white flower garland sits on a white-draped armchair, holding out red apples to a man bending forward with palms pressed together in greeting. The man wears a white shirt, grey trousers and glasses, and a red shawl hangs over his arm.

The orange-robed figure is a person by appearance: long, swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and the garland, with saffron clothing as the main cue, though the hair and garland are not especially distinctive. Visible flower garland and fruit offerings suggest a devotional greeting.2010-02-16Photograph of an indoor room with pale walls and a doorway.
