A photograph inside an open-sided hall with a bamboo-screened roof and red-washed lower wall. A seated figure on the left wears a saffron-orange turban, orange cloth draped over the shoulder and bare chest, and has long hair and a beard; he rests a hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt who bends forward holding a red fruit. Around them, seated devotees in white and pale shirts and dhotis watch, one holding a red fruit. Orange and yellow flowers and small packets lie on the floor, and a pedestal fan and a motorbike outside are visible. The figure's appearance is consistent with the a person candidate cues (orange turban and clothing, long hair), so the identification is probable but unconfirmed.
