Indoor photo in a small room with pink walls and a framed deity picture at upper left. A seated elderly man with a long white beard wears an orange-saffron robe and a red headband, and sits on a cushioned seat. Standing devotees in white dhotis and shirts, one in a white turban, face him with hands folded. Several women in white saris with gold borders and rudraksha/gold-bead necklaces stand at right, and a woman bends forward offering something. On the floor in front are a plate of flower garlands, a brass vessel, and round sweets or offerings. Some attendees wear face masks. The bearded seated figure is described only by role as a seated elder; no identification is made from appearance.
