Outdoor photo at a dirt-ground compound beside a red-painted wall with a white patterned border. A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes, with a rudraksha mala and ceremonial beaded necklace, sits on a blue plastic chair with one bare foot raised. A man in an off-white striped shirt kneels and bows his head toward the seated figure's foot. Standing behind, a man in white kurta and dhoti watches, and people in orange and red saris stand at left, with orange-robed attendants at right. Rubber sandals sit by the wall and a black water drum stands nearby. The seated figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so only the role of a seated figure receiving a foot-reverence is described.
