A photo inside a thatched-roof pavilion with wooden beams and a stone wall. A tall man in saffron robes with a long ornate gold-and-bead necklace stands centre-front, smiling; a person by appearance, with long dark hair and distinctive gold adornment, though this is uncertain. Beside him, a bearded man in white draped robes stands at left, and another white-robed man bends forward at right, while a saffron-clad monk with a beard and rudraksha mala stands at right. A seated man in orange kneels at lower right holding a small booklet, and a red box lies on the floor. Behind them, a group of onlookers in saris and shirts watches, and a cart wheel is visible outside.
