A photograph of a white-bearded elder seated on an ornate silver-framed chair with purple zigzag upholstery, wearing an orange knitted cap, a pale peach robe and an orange shawl with a checked border. He gestures with his raised right hand while speaking. Two men sit on the stage in front of him, both bare-chested with white ritual dhoti-style cloth edged gold, rudraksha malas and pale vibhuti marks on their torsos; the man on the left presses his palms together, and the man on the right listens in profile. A red pole and dark backdrop frame the scene. The elder may be a candidate for a person based on his long beard and orange cap and shawl, though the cues are limited; the seated men are devotees or attendants.
