A photograph inside a marble-walled hall of a seated, bare-headed-looking elder in orange and saffron cloth with a rudraksha mala and white vibhuti on his forehead, raising one hand in blessing toward a kneeling woman in a white top and orange shawl with her palms joined. Beside him a standing man in orange with a rudraksha mala holds a gold kalasha-style vessel, and behind them a smiling man in orange and a rudraksha necklace stands near a gold-trimmed throne with a red velvet cushion. A man in white kneels at the left edge and a metal railing and gold lion-shaped ornament frame the scene. The seated figure wears distinctive ceremonial cues, a rudraksha crown and multiple malas, but his identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
