A photograph inside a small room with cream walls and a window. On the right, a seated figure in a deep red-orange robe and matching red turban, wearing a long white and red flower garland, holds a silver trident-staff and smiles while a devotee offers a lit oil lamp. An elderly man in white clothes and an elderly woman in a pale yellow blouse kneel and make the offering, with a silver plate of flower petals on the floor. Around them, devotees with folded hands wear white shirts and orange garments, and a young man has a shaved head and rudraksha malas. A small child in pink is held by an older man in white, and a cameraman stands at the back. The seated figure has distinctive long cues but the appearance is not conclusive, so the identity is left unsure.
