A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair wearing a maroon-brown garment, draped in heavy garlands of white jasmine and red roses, with flower petals scattered on the floor before him. Around him devotees crowd close: a woman in a red-and-gold sari offers fruit, two women in white and gold saris, a man in an orange shirt, a man in a checked shirt, and a bare-chested man with white ash marks on his forehead and white dhoti. A woman in a maroon top talks on a phone. A flat-screen television, white walls, a framed picture, and a basket of fruit complete the room.
