Indoor photo of a seated ceremony at an ashram room with a large brown upholstered throne-like chair with carved dark wood backrest. A man in ornate multi-strand garland of red, white and yellow flowers and gold-colored necklaces sits on the throne, smiling, wearing deep maroon-red robes, a gold armband and bangles, and a horizontal tilak on his forehead; a person depiction candidate based on the saffron-red clothing, ornate gold necklaces and garlands, but identity is uncertain. To the left, an older man in white shirt, yellow flower garland and glasses presses his palms together in respect. Behind, two young priests in white dhoti-style cloth, rudraksha malas and shaved heads stand, one holding a gold kalasha or ritual vessel over a wooden tray with red fruit or offerings.
