A photograph in a hall with red curtains and red carpet. A man in a red turban with gold trim, red-and-gold shawl, beaded necklaces and gold armbands stands at right, one hand resting on the bowed head of a smiling man in a blue checked shirt. The standing figure holds a sheet of paper in his other hand. Beside them, a woman in white holds a leopard-print cushion, and a shaved-headed man in orange-red robes with rudraksha malas stands at left. An empty gold-and-red throne sits in the background at right. Several onlookers in white and light clothing stand around. Due to visible cues of turban, shawl and adornments, the standing figure at right is a person receiving a devotee, though the appearance is only partly distinctive.
