A photograph of a room lined with bookshelves where a life-size cutout poster of a smiling, bearded figure seated in meditation is held upright by a man in a white shirt. The cutout wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a saffron turban with a gold ornament, a yellow-gold beaded mala and gold pendants, and bangles on the wrists. In front, a man in a white shirt presses his palms together in namaste. Behind, a bare-chested elderly man with white hair and rudraksha malas stands holding a small bowl. On the left, an elderly man in a green striped sweater with a rudraksha mala sits beside a table. On the right, a woman in a maroon top wears a mala, and a partially visible person in orange clothing stands at the edge. A green leaf offering sits at the bottom right.

Standing beside him, a man in a white shirt and rudraksha mala presses his palms together in greeting, while a shaved-headed priest in orange robes and a gold necklace stands nearby. Another man in white ritual clothes with a rudraksha mala holds his hands together, and more people are blurred in the background near stone pillars and a golden throne at right.
