A photograph of a seated figure in a red-orange turban and red-orange shawl with rudraksha beads on the wrists and arm, handing a folded white paper to a man in a white shirt and red script-printed shawl. Beside him a woman in red shawl and rudraksha mala smiles, and a young boy in a red shawl sits between them. Oranges and a folded orange cloth lie in the foreground, with a golden deity murti and oil lamps in the warm-lit background. The figure's appearance includes a red turban and rudraksha, but the image does not clearly establish identity, so it is described by role only.
