A photograph of three men seated on ornate gold-framed orange velvet thrones in a room with a patterned curtain. On the left, a grey-haired man in an orange saffron shawl and a dark rudraksha mala holds a small bundle of grass and leans forward. In the centre background, a man in a light shirt and a maroon-orange cloth looks on. On the right, a younger man in a maroon-brown dhoti and cloth wears a thick gold-beaded necklace and sits with his palms open, a white paste mark on his forehead. a person cues: the seated man on the right wears ornate gold beads and sits on a throne, but the appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so this is not asserted.

An elderly sadhu in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits at left, hands held over a silver vessel while a younger man in a reddish-brown dhoti and shawl with a gold bead necklace pours liquid from a small spoon-like vessel. A second seated person in orange is partly visible behind. Behind them are ornate gold-and-orange upholstered thrones and a patterned curtain.
