A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a long swept-back hair, white vibhuti marks on the forehead, a rudraksha-style beaded mala and an ornate gold necklace, placing his hand on the forehead of a kneeling Western man in a white shirt and red-orange shawl. The seated man holds a printed sheet of paper and smiles. Behind them stand a woman in white with a long beaded mala and several women in white and red-orange shawls. Gold lion-form armrests and a leopard-print seat cushion surround the throne-like chair, and a red carpet covers the floor.
