A photograph of a bare, whitewashed room with a dark polished floor and a window with wooden shutters. In the centre is a large carved wooden bed or cot with turned balusters, and a figure in white is bent low at its side, with orange cloths or offerings near the frame. Behind them stand several men in white dhotis and orange shawls, one holding a long spear-like staff at the right edge. A small bird-shaped emblem appears at the upper left. No one is clearly identified as a person; the figures are referred to by role only, as devotees and attendants in white and orange.
