A photograph taken in a large covered hall with metal roof trusses and stage lights, with a crowd seated in white chairs in the background. In the foreground, a figure in a sleeveless saffron-orange top sits at left, with long dark hair swept back, palms pressed together toward an older man in a white short-sleeved shirt, dark belt and gold wristwatch, who stands at right with his hands clasped in greeting, both smiling. Another person's arm rests on his shoulder from the right edge. The orange-clad figure's cues are long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, but the face alone is not used to identify them; the appearance is ambiguous, so the a person label is uncertain.
