A photograph of an indoor ritual setting with a seated figure in long dark hair and saffron-orange robes, resting on a cream-upholstered chair beside a table draped with white cloth and a garland of white and red flowers. A man in a white shirt and trousers stands before the seated figure, holding a small folded paper and reaching toward a tray of fruit, while a second man in white clothing with an orange shawl stands at the right and another orange-clad attendant is partly visible behind. A decorated gold stand and a walking cane are visible at the left edge. The figure's distinctive long hair and saffron robes are visible cues, but the appearance is not conclusively established, so this is only a probable candidate for a person seated as the one receiving the devotee.
