Photograph of two men clasping hands in greeting indoors against a plain pale wall with a small white electrical switch plate. On the right, a man with swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and white tilak on his forehead, a long gold-bead necklace and an orange-saffron shawl over his bare shoulder smiles broadly. On the left, a shaved-headed man in a red-orange monastic robe, bare on one shoulder, smiles while clasping his hands. The right figure shows distinctive saffron and gold ceremonial cues, so the appearance-based label applies.
