A photograph taken in a dim hall with white walls and a barred window. A man in an orange turban, orange shawl with gold border and a white flower garland sits on a white-covered seat on the right, facing left, with hands pressed together in namaste. Beside him a man in white shirt and trousers stands with palms joined, and a woman in a pink and red sari at the left bows with folded hands. Several seated devotees in white clothes fill the background. The orange-robed figure has distinctive saffron and gold ceremonial clothing, a turban and a garland, which are appearance-based cues for a person; the page does not state he is present, so this is uncertain.
