A photograph inside a decorated room with an orange draped backdrop, red curtains and floral garlands. A bearded man with long hair, wearing a rust-red robe and a heavy garland of white jasmine and red roses, sits on a flower-strewn floor, receiving devotion. A young girl in a green patterned kurta and blue leggings smiles as she offers a green fruit from a woven basket on his left. Around them, devotees stand in white dhotis and cream sarees, one bare-chested man wears a rudraksha mala and gold chain, and an older man in a white kurta watches. A white fan and a golden throne-like chair appear behind. The scene looks like a reception or puja with offerings of fruit and flowers. The figure seated in the rust robe with floral garland and long swept hair fits a person candidate, though his appearance is only partially clear.
