A photo inside a shop with a yellow-washed curved ceiling. Several men in saffron-orange robes stand in a group on a tiled floor, with one man in white clothing among them. Shelves on the left hold folded white and cream cloth bundles, and on the right are racks of white and light garments and rows of bottled products. Framed portraits of a woman in saffron robes hang on the back wall above a shelf of small carved deity figurines and brass statues. One man in orange with a long beaded necklace stands at the left edge, and another in orange with a beaded necklace stands in the center facing the group. No readable a person candidate is distinctly identifiable from appearance alone, so the identity remains uncertain.
