Indoor photo in a home room with yellow walls, a purple striped wall, a window with grills, and a wall clock. A bare-chested man with long swept-back hair and a long orange-brown shawl stands at right gesturing with one hand, with a rudraksha mala visible; his appearance is consistent with a person candidate but uncertain. Nearby, a woman in a pink and white sari with folded hands stands at left, and several people in orange and saffron robes stand or sit around a glass-fronted box or casket draped with white, yellow and orange flower garlands, filled with red flowers. Two dreadlocked sannyasis in orange robes stand near the box, and a sannyasi in orange kneels at lower right beside small plates with red flowers. Overall this is a devotional gathering in a home.
