A photograph inside a storage room with shelves of cardboard boxes and metal stock pots, with black stone-like objects and a red wooden frame in the foreground. Four people stand together: a bearded man with grey hair in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a bald bearded man in white dhoti and cream kurta with a saffron-yellow shawl, a woman with long dark hair in an orange-red sari with a rudraksha mala gesturing with her hand, and a woman in a teal shawl and dark outfit looking on. Orange cloth covers part of the room.

Four attendants stand around him: a woman in a dark brown sari at left, a white-bearded man in a white shirt with a dark mala bending forward at left-centre, a bearded man in an orange robe and glasses at right-centre, and a man in a white shirt bending forward at far right.
