A photograph of a seated figure in orange robes with long dark wavy hair sitting on a white-draped chair, a red patterned cushion beneath the feet. He extends his hand toward a kneeling woman in a white blouse and orange shawl with her hair in a bun, who is holding a red-brown beaded mala. A young man in orange robes with a mala stands behind them against a white wall with a potted plant at right. The seated figure's long hair and orange clothing match the appearance cues of the page's subject, so this is a person in a mala-giving moment with a devotee. The setting is a plain white-walled hall with a mat on the floor.
