A group photograph taken indoors on a polished marble floor beside a staircase with a brass lamp. A man seated cross-legged on an orange cushion wears saffron robes, a long yellow-and-white marigold garland, and a rudraksha mala; his hair is long and swept back, and an orange cloth lies on the floor before him. Around him stand about ten people: older men in white dhotis and white shirts, a boy in an orange shirt, a woman in an orange sari holding a walking stick, a woman in a red blouse and orange sari, a young man in a white t-shirt and jeans, and a bald man in orange robes at the far left. Outside the seated figure's clothing and garland cues the identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so he is described by role.
