Photograph of a crowded indoor room with a corrugated metal ceiling and whitewashed walls. A man in an orange saffron shawl and a gold-beaded necklace stands at center with short dark hair and a red mark on his forehead, facing a group of devotees, among them women with long braids in red, pink and yellow saffron-toned saris and a man in a white shirt. Behind them on the wall are framed printed photographs and a text panel. A dark-haired woman in a white sweater stands at left, and a bearded older man in glasses stands at right. A rolled orange cloth hangs on the wall. Appearance-based probable identity: the orange-clad central man wearing a gold-beaded necklace matches a person by orange clothing and ornaments, though the cues are limited.
