A photograph of a seated sannyasi in red-orange robes with long dark hair tied back and a white tilak on his forehead, placing his right hand on the head of an elderly man. The man has white hair and a moustache, wears a red shawl over a blue-and-white checked shirt, and presses his palms together in namaste with a vermilion mark on his forehead. A gold-and-silver rudraksha mala hangs beside them, and a gilded vessel with yellow marigold garlands sits in the foreground. Behind them is a painted backdrop of ghats and temple spires above blue water, and a woman in white watches from the background. The seated figure, recognizable by appearance cues including long swept-back hair, a gold necklace and red-orange robes, may be a person, as the page indicates. Two physical people are visible.

Gold ritual vessels and a golden throne-like seat stand behind them, and a bald-headed person sits in the lower foreground.
