A seated elderly sadhu in orange robes sits cross-legged on a cushioned wooden throne-like seat under an arch of white and yellow flower garlands, with a tall yellow marigold cross-shaped garland overhead. Around him, several devotees stand close: a tall figure in a saffron-orange robe and matching turban with a yellow-orange bead garland, a bald monk in orange robes with a white flower garland, and men in white shirts with rosette ribbons. A large banner behind shows painted deities and gold lettering in Kannada. A camera or phone is held at the lower left edge. The setting appears to be a hall with a fan and a framed picture on the wall.

A tall yellow marigold arch frames the scene on the right. Standing around him are men in orange, a man in an olive-green shirt, and men in white shirts; one man in a white shirt reaches up to the arch and another holds a phone at the lower left. Behind them a painted banner shows figures in a colourful mural and Kannada text. The seated figure's identity cannot be established from appearance, so no identification is made. A standing man in an orange turban and long orange robe with a gold necklace stands at the left; his cues are distinctive but the seated figure is not a clear match.2009-07-23July 23 20092009-07-23A bald, white-bearded man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on an ornate wooden seat decorated with yellow and white flower garlands, a white garland around his neck.
