A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair, wearing a white and red flower garland and rudraksha beads, holding up a tall silver trident (trishul) in one raised hand while seated on an orange-draped couch. In front, a woman in white with a red shawl holds a brass cup and sits on a red cloth before brass plates and offerings. Around them, a monk-like young man in orange with a shaved head and rudraksha mala sits with folded hands, a man in white shirt and trousers photographs the scene with a camera, and several women in white and red saris sit with hands pressed in prayer. Brass and silver ritual vessels and a gold tray are on the floor, and a framed picture hangs on the wall.
