A photograph of a long-haired figure with dreadlocked hair piled high, wearing a brown wrap, rudraksha-style necklaces, a gold armlet and gold earrings, seated at the left of a flower-decorated altar. He smiles while receiving a large folded card or sheet from an older man in an orange-red kurta who laughs and leans in. Behind them is a golden backdrop with carved seated deity figures and a golden vessel. A video camera is mounted on a tripod at center, and several people stand in the background, including a woman in a teal sari and gold jewellery. A large orange cake with colourful sprinkles sits in the foreground. The long-haired figure matches a person by his dreadlocked hair, rudraksha necklaces and ornate gold jewellery, though his face is not used to confirm identity.
