Photograph of a seated bare-chested man in white dhoti with a long rudraksha mala and a pendant necklace, eyes closed and mouth open as if chanting, holding a yellow flower in his hands. Beside him a woman in a cream and gold sari with a red bindi and gold jewellery sits with eyes lowered, and another woman in glasses is partly visible at right, with gold curtains and red drapes behind. The man has short grey hair and wears spectacles and a gold bracelet; no crown, saffron robe or distinctive a person cues are clearly visible, so his identity is uncertain. Two people are clearly visible, plus a partly visible figure at the edge.

He wears multiple rudraksha mala strands around his neck and a red-and-gold bracelet on one wrist, with a red sacred thread visible at his waist.
