A photograph in a bare white-walled hall shows a woman with dark hair pulled back, wearing a saffron-orange sari-style wrap and rudraksha-style beads, seated on a white-covered chair and holding green leaves. In front of her a man in white clothes with an orange shawl kneels and bows with his forehead to the floor, in a gesture of reverence. An orange cloth lies on the floor, and a brass bowl sits on the chair beside her. Two children sit in the background on the left.
