A photograph of a ceremonial reception in an indoor hall. A central figure in a yellow turban with a jewelled crown ornament, red and yellow flower garlands, pearl necklaces and a yellow shawl stands smiling while raising a hand in blessing toward a man in a white shirt who presses his palms together in greeting. Several other men surround them, including one in an orange cloth and others in white and red-bordered dhotis, one holding a bead mala. The setting has golden decorations behind them. Whether the central figure is a person is uncertain from appearance alone.
