The bearded man is receiving the orange shawl as an honour. Behind them, a few people in saffron and orange robes and a man in a light blue shirt with an ID lanyard are partly visible. Appearance-based identification of the bearded man is uncertain, so the a person field is unsure.2013-10-20A photograph in a room with orange and pale lavender striped backdrop and green floor.
