Indoor photograph in a tiled hall with a staircase and wooden railing, a ceiling fan, and a small wooden shrine with a tiled roof in the background. A seated man in orange robes with a pink and white flower garland and a rudraksha-style neck adornment accepts offerings from a woman in white with a red flower in her hair. Several men in white shirts and a woman in a green sari stand around, and a man in orange kneels at left. A tray of wrapped sweets sits near the seated figure. The seated orange-robed man is a possible in-person candidate based on orange robes and garland, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
