A photograph of a smiling man in a lavender-grey turban with a peacock-feather ornament and a red tilak, wearing a pink-orange shawl draped over one shoulder, a long mala of dark rudraksha beads, and gold armlets. He extends his right hand toward a man in an orange shirt with a beaded necklace who stands facing him. Other men in white and checked shirts stand behind and beside them in a hall with ceiling lights and a colourful banner in the background. The turbaned man's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, but the face is not used for identification, so he is described by role and clothing only. Another visible person in a light shirt is partially shown at the left edge.
