A photograph of a bald, older man in an orange robe with a red tilak on his forehead, smiling and clasping hands with a younger monk in orange robes who holds a silver tray. Beside them a young boy in a red shirt looks on, a man in a white shirt stands at left, and a person in a yellow-green head wrap appears behind. The room has pale pink walls and orange cloth hangs in the background. The older man has a shaved head and orange robe, without the distinctive long hair, crown or rudraksha cues needed to name him, so his identity is uncertain.
