A photograph of a doorway decorated with mango leaf and white flower garlands, with an iron grille on the left. A long-haired person with a reddish-brown robe, a rudraksha mala and a gold-coloured waist cloth stands smiling in the doorway, carrying a brown-and-gold sash. Opposite, a bald priest in a saffron-and-gold robe with a gold-bordered shawl faces them, and a man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands behind. Inside, framed portraits and a small deity picture hang on a white wall, and a few people in the room look on. The person's appearance is consistent with a person with a rudraksha mala and a reddish robe, but the identification is uncertain.
