Indoor room scene with a wall world map and framed gilded deity painting. A bare-chested, dreadlocked man with a long beard in rust-red cloth sits on a red rug, facing a shaved-headed young man in white dhoti and sacred thread who kneels and holds folded saffron cloth in both hands. A third man in saffron robe and rudraksha mala stands behind, and another saffron-clad figure sits at the left edge. Leopard-print cushioned furniture and a wooden chair fill the room. The kneeling man appears to be receiving or offering the cloth in a ritual exchange.

A bare-chested man with long dreadlocks and a beard sits on the red carpeted floor in rust-coloured cloth, holding out folded orange fabric to a young girl in a cream blouse and brown skirt who kneels on a red patterned rug. A woman in a rust sari and beaded necklace kneels beside him. A standing man in an orange robe and rudraksha mala watches from behind, and a woman in orange stands near the mirror at upper left. The man with dreadlocks has distinctive long swept hair and a bare chest with ornaments; appearance is uncertain, so this is a devotee-style scene rather than a confirmed identification.2017-01-06January 06 20172017-01-06January 06 20172017-01-06January 06 20172017-01-06January 06 20172017-01-06January 06 20172017-01-06Indoor photo in a room with a leopard-print sofa and armchair, wooden floor and red patterned rug.
