A photograph of a seated man in a dark navy kurta with a red-orange printed scarf being touched on both cheeks by a robed figure in orange-saffron cloth, bare-shouldered, wearing pink flower garlands, gold bangles and red rudraksha-style bracelets. The seated man has closed eyes and a red tilak on his forehead. A brass tray with gold-coloured items sits in the foreground, and dark red curtains fill the background. The robed figure has long dark hair, a beard and gold earrings; the standing person is seen from behind and partly profile, so no appearance-based identification is made and no a person identification is claimed.
