A photograph on a stage with a dark maroon velvet curtain behind. In the foreground, a man with a shaved head and a bare upper body, wearing a brown and gold-bordered dhoti-style wrap, raises an orange saffron shawl high above his head with both arms. Facing him is a smiling bearded man with long dark hair, wearing a white kurta and white shawl, a white and orange garland of flowers around his neck, and his hands pressed together in namaskar. The bearded man is receiving the orange shawl as an honour. Behind them, a few people in saffron and orange robes and a man in a light blue shirt with an ID lanyard are partly visible. Appearance-based identification of the bearded man is uncertain, so the a person field is unsure.2013-10-20October 20 20132013-10-20October 20 20132013-10-20 +1 copiesOctober 20 20132013-10-20A photograph of a stage event against dark red velvet drapes.
