Photograph of a seated, bald, bearded man wearing an orange saffron shawl and a beaded rudraksha necklace, with white vertical forehead markings. He sits at a table on a banana leaf, holding a piece of food in one hand while the other hand is raised in a gesture. Standing behind him are several people in white dhotis and orange shawls, one holding a small white item. A low table draped with a lace cloth is in the foreground with a small white bottle and a plate. The scene looks like a breakfast meeting in a plain room.
