A photograph inside a white marble temple hall with polished reddish floors and carved white pillars. Around a dozen children sit on the floor in a semicircle facing a standing man in white dhoti and white kurta with an orange shawl around his shoulders and a mala at his neck. A standing teenage boy in a yellow shirt and grey trousers stands at left. A black stone lion sculpture sits at right. Behind them a framed portrait labelled with a name sits on a draped stand with garlands, and a second framed portrait of a woman in orange sari with a garland rests on a blue-draped seat. Orange marigold garlands hang above a doorway. The children wear teal, blue, red, lime and orange outfits with flowers in their hair. The man's appearance does not clearly match a known candidate, so no identification is made.
