A photograph inside a dimly lit tent-like hall with deep red drapes. A bald, bare-chested man wearing a red-orange shawl with a gold border and a heavy rudraksha mala is bending forward toward an elderly bearded sadhu in an orange turban and reddish-orange robe, who is seated on the floor and reaching out with folded hands holding a folded cloth. Another woman in an orange-red turban and gold-bordered wrap sits on the left beside an ornate brown leather throne-like seat, and a man in the background watches. Behind them are a silver-framed deity murti with an ornate silver backdrop, a silver-topped low table with carved trim on the right, and a wall lamp. The bald man's wrists show gold and beaded bangles and he has a gold necklace. Identity of the bald man is not established from appearance cues alone.
