A seated figure in an orange-red sleeveless top and orange wrap, with long dark wavy hair, presses a hand to the forehead of a kneeling man in a white shirt and white dhoti. Garlands of white jasmine lie on the orange cushioned seat, and a brass plate holds apples, bananas and a pineapple, with papers and small items nearby. Behind them, devotees in white clothes and orange scarves stand and kneel in a hall with a light woven floor, and a man at the back wears a white shirt with an ID lanyard. The appearance of the seated figure matches the page's a person reference only partially, with long swept hair and orange clothing but no crown or rudraksha visible, so identity is uncertain.
