A seated figure in an orange-red garment wearing a large garland of white and pink flowers and a rudraksha-style necklace sits on a red cushioned seat, smiling as a man in a checked shirt bends forward to touch his hand or feet. Behind them, several women in saris and salwar kameez, one in a red sari with a red-bead mala, stand and watch, and a small child in a dark top is held near the seated figure. A golden ceremonial ornament with flame-like curves stands in the foreground beside a red-cushioned throne, and a camera on a tripod is visible in the background. The setting is a red-lit temple or ashram hall with ritual offerings of fruit on red cloth.
