A photograph of two men outdoors beside an ornate golden throne with a red cushion and a golden canopy edge at left. A bearded man in a rust-orange cloth stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, eyes lowered, wearing a thick twisted brown cord draped around his neck. Beside him a shirtless young man with long hair, rudraksha beads on his arm and chest, large hoop earring, and white ash stripes on his shoulder bends forward toward a grey stone slab marked with red powder. A white-walled compound and green gate are behind them. Their gestures suggest reverence, but the bearded man's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.
