Photograph inside a temple corridor with orange walls, a painted ceiling, black-and-white checkered marble floor, and a ceiling fan. Two men in plain saffron-orange robes stand side by side facing a framed deity image set in a marble niche at left; red flower petals lie on the floor. The man at right has long swept-back hair, bare-armed under a draped orange cloth, and is barefoot. The man beside him wears orange robes with a red border and stands at a more relaxed angle. A third figure is partly visible behind them. Behind is a red latticed gate and a carved turquoise arch. The appearance of the right-hand man with long hair and orange robes gives some cues for a person candidate, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
