A photograph of an indoor hall with pale walls and hanging orange and multicoloured banners. In the centre, a man in an orange saffron robe with a gold-bordered shawl and a white-and-gold garland stands with his head turned, gesturing with one hand toward a man in a white shirt and white dhoti who holds a blue paper. Beside them, a bald man in orange robes holds a white tray with gold items. Several men in white dhotis and shirts and orange-robed monastics stand around, one with a rudraksha mala, and a foreign-looking man in a white shirt stands at the back. A partially visible figure at the right holds a gold-coloured tray.
