A photograph of a crowded room where devotees gather around a man reclining on a bed or low platform strewn with red and pink rose petals. He wears white and orange-red garlands of flowers, has a bearded face with a white tilak, and wears a rudraksha-style bead necklace; a devotee kneels and offers him oranges from a basket, while others in cream and gold saris, white dhotis and a green shawl stand nearby with hands folded in namaskar. A small electric fan, bookshelves and a wall-mounted television are visible in the room. The candidate for the man on the bed cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the identity is recorded as unsure. Roughly twelve to fifteen people are visible.
