Photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes, wearing a long rudraksha mala with multiple beads, with a white tilak on his forehead and long swept-back hair. He sits on a gold-finished throne beside a peacock-feather fan and a silver ceremonial staff topped with a finial. He receives a sheet of paper from a woman kneeling before him, she wears a white top and an orange-red shawl with printed text and has a hair clip. Red-painted wooden lattice screens and gilded decorations form the backdrop. The scene looks like a satsang or darshan moment.
