A photograph of two men clasping hands in a shared greeting inside a room with a green forest mural behind them and a brass lamp at left. The man on the left has long dark hair tied in a knot at the back and wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over one shoulder, layered gold-toned beaded necklaces, a beaded armlet and beaded wrist bands. Facing him, an older man with grey hair and a white short-sleeved shirt grips his hand and wrist, with gold bracelets and a watch visible. Behind them a shaved-headed man in orange robes and a long rudraksha mala stands watching, with a small red mark on his forehead. A brass lamp shaped with a bird finial stands at the left edge.

A photograph of an indoor hall where an elderly man in a white shirt with glasses and a rudraksha-style red bead necklace stands with palms pressed together in anjali namaskar, facing a man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-toned embellished border. The man in orange wears a long gold-and-bead necklace, a pearl-style mala and a small pendant, and has his hair swept back in a long style; his hands are clasped in front of him. Behind them, another man in orange with a shaved head and a red forehead mark stands near a second orange-clad figure, and several people in white and other colours move in the background. Orange and gold tassels hang from the ceiling at the upper right.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair, a bun, and layered beaded necklaces sits on a red and tiger-striped throne-like seat, extending his right hand in blessing toward a bald man in white shirt and white dhoti with gold border who bows and touches the seated man's foot. Behind them, another man in orange with a rudraksha mala stands, and a younger man in white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha mala stands at right. A red box holds offerings and packets at lower left, a brass lamp sits on the tiger-print cushion, and a cooler stands against the wall.

Indoor hall scene with a smiling man in an orange-saffron dhoti-style wrap with gold border and heavy gold bead necklaces, his hands raised toward an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti who stands with palms pressed together in a namaste greeting. Behind them a bald man in orange robes with gold necklaces and a red tilak mark stands near a white stand. Hanging colorful tassel decorations and a crowd of people in white, orange and green clothing fill the background. The exchange appears to be a respectful greeting or blessing in a devotional setting.
