A photo taken indoors in a plain white-walled room with a barred window. A smiling person stands centre-left wearing an orange-saffron turban and orange robe, with a long white and red flower garland and a rudraksha mala; long dark hair falls at the shoulders, and the figure has distinctive ceremonial adornment and the presentation of a sannyasi. Around them, an elderly man in white with a shawl holds a brass tray of flower petals at left, and a man in a white shirt stands at right. Devotees' heads are visible in the foreground. Through the window a crowd of people in white and coloured saris gathers outdoors. On a small table below is a framed painting of a figure seated on a rocky mountain and a floral garland.
