A man seated on an orange-cushioned chair wears a white and red flower garland, a rudraksha mala, reddish-brown robes with a gold border, and copper-toned arm bands. Two monks in saffron-orange robes kneel at a low table with a tray of fruit and flowers, one washing or touching the seated man's feet. A kneeling man in white shirt and white dhoti, wearing a rudraksha-style necklace, holds the seated man's foot. A standing person in orange and gold dhoti holds a camera at the right. The seated man has a distinctive robe and garland, but appearance alone does not confirm identity, so the a person field is unsure.2014-06-26Indoor photo in a yellow-walled hall with a staircase behind.
