A photograph of a seated guru in a rust-orange robe with a long rudraksha-style bead mala and an ornate gold pendant, a white tilak on his forehead, seated on a gilded throne-like seat with carved golden columns. Two devotees stand before him: a bearded man in a white kurta holding a wooden tray with a pink cloth and offerings, and a woman in a green and yellow silk saree with a braid, reaching toward him. Behind the seat hang swing ropes, a fruit bowl, a bronze Nandi and a metal vessel. A ceiling fan is at right.
