A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair and a thick rudraksha mala places both hands on the head of a bald older man in a cream striped shirt who bows forward. A second woman in orange robes with a yellow border stands behind, watching, wearing a beaded necklace. A small table below holds red fruit, flowers and a tray; a gold ornate panel stands at left, and several onlookers in a room behind them watch. The seated figure has distinctive long hair and rudraksha beads, so an appearance-based candidate for a person is present, but the face and pose are not clearly confirmed, so this is uncertain.

A photograph of a satsang-style setting in which a long-haired figure in a rust-orange wrap and a red and white flower garland sits and places a hand on the forehead of a man in a white shirt and orange-red shawl, who leans in with eyes closed. Behind them, several people in white and red shawls stand, and a woman in an orange sari with a rudraksha mala sits at lower right.
