A photograph of two men in a decorated room with white draped fabric and orange marigold garlands hung along the back. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron garment and a white and red flower garland with pink lotus flowers, is seated on a wooden chair and reaches forward to touch the chest of a standing man. The standing man wears a white short-sleeved shirt, a black bead necklace, and a white tilak on his forehead, and holds a small shell. Flower garlands and a glass display cabinet appear at the right edge. The seated man in orange has long swept-back hair and matches the presentation of a candidate, but the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the seated man is described by role only.
