Photo of two men in a small room with framed devotional prints of deities hung on pale yellow walls, decorated with pink and yellow garlands. In the foreground, a man seen from behind wears a rust-red turban, a gold-bordered rust-red cloth wrapped over the shoulder and waist, and an orange-beaded necklace. Facing him, a bearded man with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange kurta and dhoti with an orange shawl, and gestures with one hand while speaking. Between them is a glass-topped case draped with orange and gold cloth, with marigold-like flowers placed on the table. Another person's arm and rudraksha beads appear at the right edge. The bearded man in orange has appearance cues that are not fully distinctive, so identity is uncertain.
