A photograph in a home sitting room with dark wooden cabinets holding figurines and glass shelves. A bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair, orange-saffron cloth draped over the shoulders, a leopard-print waist cloth, a gold waist belt, rudraksha beads and a marigold garland stands and reaches out his hand. A man in a cream-gold silk shawl and a black cap bows low and touches the outstretched hand. Behind them a smiling man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands by a curtain. A small tray of marigolds sits on a side table. The long-haired figure shows distinctive adornments and saffron clothing, so this is a person depiction in person, though the appearance is partly obscured by the framing.
