A photograph taken indoors at night of a seated figure in orange clothing with a bare upper body and an orange turban, hands pressed together in namaskar before a group of devotees. The figure sits on a folding chair; beside him stands a small brass deity murti decorated with flower garlands and a red cloth, with a tray of offerings nearby. Around him, a man in a brown sweater and blue trousers, a boy in a checked shirt, a woman in a pink and blue sari, a girl in a dark blue top, and an elderly woman in a gold-and-orange sari kneeling with folded hands press forward in devotion. A woman in a bright pink sari with gold embroidery stands at the right edge, and a ceremonial rudraksha mala hangs at the left. Background includes a grey wall with red and green decorative pillars and a barred window. The figure's appearance matches the page's a person candidate only in saffron clothing and turban, which is insufficient for a confident identification, so this is recorded as unsure.
