A seated man in an orange saffron garment with a long rudraksha mala and hair swept back sits on a zebra-striped chair, receiving a sealed packet from a kneeling man in a white shirt. Behind him, several monks in orange robes, one in white with a shaved head, stand around a white box holding red and orange items. The room has white cinder-block walls and a window at left. The seated man shows a person cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala, but the identification is uncertain.
