A photograph of a man in a maroon-red dhoti-style garment with a gold-striped border and a thick gold-and-bead necklace, smiling as he drapes or adjusts an orange shawl around the shoulders of a bearded older man in saffron-orange robes. Both sit or stand near gilded golden throne-like chairs against a red and silver patterned backdrop. The seated older man has a red bindi and white beard. Behind them a photographer in maroon garments with a rudraksha mala holds a camera, and a red-robed attendant stands at the left edge. The image shows a ceremonial honouring of a visiting swami in an ashram setting.
