A photo of a seated devotee with short grey hair and a grey beard in a grey cardigan over a red top, pressing his palms together and smiling, facing a seated figure in a red-orange garment with a white garland of flowers and rudraksha beads. The seated figure, with white vertical forehead markings, raises a hand in greeting. Between them is a wooden tray holding oranges, rudraksha beads, sweets and packets, with red flowers and a plant nearby. Behind, priests in white and rust-coloured dhotis and shawls stand near a tripod and a golden figure. Rocks and greenery surround the setting.
