A photograph inside a temple-style hall with bright pink, green and yellow painted pillars and a golden deity murti in the background. A man with long, swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange dhoti, a rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, holds a silver tray with two red apples toward a seated man in a red-and-gold shawl over an orange robe, who has his palms pressed together in greeting.
