A photograph of an indoor ritual setting with a white-walled room and a red patterned rug over a woven mat. A long-haired person in a saffron-orange robe sits on a white-covered chair and extends a hand toward a kneeling woman in white clothing with blonde hair tied back and a pink flower; she holds a brown mala and bows with hands joined. A young man in orange robes stands behind, hands clasped, and a red-and-white striped curtain and potted plant appear at the upper right. The seated person shows long swept hair and saffron clothing, consistent with the appearance-based a person label for the seated devotee-receiving figure; identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
