A photo in an outdoor courtyard with a red-washed wall and a tree. A bearded man with long dark hair sits cross-legged on a stone pedestal table, smiling, bare-shouldered in orange-red cloth with a gold border, wearing multiple rudraksha malas and a tilak. Around him, several people in orange garments stand or sit with their backs to the camera; one standing figure at right has a mobile phone tucked at his waist. A small framed picture sits on a silver stand beside the seat, and a black plaque with a gold emblem rests on the stone.
