Indoor photo of a seated figure on a brown upholstered armchair with carved dark wooden armrests, wearing a rust-brown robe with gold border, a crimson-and-gold shawl, long beaded necklaces, gold bangles and a flower garland of yellow and red blooms. The figure's bare feet rest on a small brown cushioned footstool scattered with petals. A white-clad elder bends forward to touch the seated figure's feet in padapuja-style reverence, with a white cloth draped over his shoulder. Behind them stand four young sannyasi-style men in orange robes with rudraksha malas, one with a white tilak on his forehead. A white-clad elder in the lower left kneels with palms pressed together in namaskar. Cream walls, a red curtain and a warm lamp complete the room. a person is the seated figure, recognized by the rust-and-gold robe, garlands, beaded necklaces and the armchair seat of honour.
