A photograph of a felicitation ceremony in a hall. A seated monk in saffron robes sits on a low wooden platform with hands folded in his lap, wearing a white garland. A bald man in an orange-saffron robe and matching headwrap leans in and bows over him, one hand resting on the seated monk's shoulder. Behind them a large yellow and white floral garland hangs from a tall stand, and a banner with Kannada script is visible at top. On the right, two women in saris, one in white with pink and one in magenta, watch while standing. Other men in white shirts and saffron robes stand in the background among flower petals on the floor.
