Indoor photo in a small shrine room with a whitewashed wall and a patterned carpet on the floor. A young man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and a gold-bead necklace, sits smiling on a low wooden bench. Beside him on the floor sits an older bearded sadhu in orange cloth with matted hair, turned toward him. Behind them are framed portraits, a framed mountain poster, a carved ornate frame, a brass lamp and a glass cabinet with red items. The seated younger man has distinctive long hair and orange clothing with a gold necklace, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to name him.
