Photo of a seated man with long dark hair, wearing orange saffron robes, a red-and-white flower garland and a red bindi, holding a small white paper as he receives a visitor. A man in a dark patterned shirt and light trousers kneels before him with a hand resting on his shoulder. At right, a child in white kneels beside them and another person in white stands at the edge. Behind them is a golden altar with brass lamps, a bell, flower garlands and a purple cloth backdrop with a deity murti.
