A seated figure in an orange saffron robe and matching orange turban receives devotees in a hall with a white wall and a pedestal fan. A garland of green leaves, white flowers and yellow and red blossoms hangs around the figure's neck, and red flowers lie on the floor. Several people kneel or stand before them with palms pressed together, and a young man in a light blue striped shirt reaches out to clasp the seated figure's hand. A man in a white shirt and glasses stands behind him, and an older woman with grey hair joins her hands nearby. A woman in a pink sari with gold bangles stands at left.

Around him a crowd of devotees gathers in a concrete hall: a man in white shirt and dhoti stands centre, a woman in a white sari with gold border reaches out, a man in striped shirt kneels at lower left holding a rudraksha mala, a woman in white with glasses smiles at left, and a young boy in a checked shirt stands among them. A portrait of a man in orange robes hangs on the wall behind, with a white cooling fan at right. The seated man in orange is a person candidate, with long swept-back hair, an orange turban and garland, but the appearance is uncertain.2007-02-06January 12 20072007-01-12
