A photograph of a seated man with a bushy black beard and white-and-red tilak on his forehead, bare-chested with a saffron-orange shawl over the shoulders and a long rudraksha mala around his neck, laughing beside a large engraved copper vessel. Beside him a young woman in a pink blouse and gold jewellery, and a girl in an orange garment wearing layered gold necklaces and rudraksha malas and bangles, sit smiling. A figure in orange robes stands behind in the background near a brass lamp and a kalasha-like pillar. The appearance of the seated man with a rudraksha mala and ceremonial dress is consistent with a person, though this is uncertain.
