A photograph inside a hall with white walls and a draped curtain. A long-haired man in an orange sleeveless garment sits on a red-cushioned seat, his right hand raised toward the forehead of an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti who stands bowing with palms pressed together. Behind them a shaved-headed man in white kurta and an orange shawl stands holding a white envelope. Several men in white shirts and dhotis stand in the background near a barrier, and bananas and fruit sit on a tray at the lower right. Whether the seated figure is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the role is given as a seated man in orange receiving a devotee.
