A seated figure in an orange and gold shawl with a long garland of yellow beads and white flowers receives a greeting from an older man in white shirt and dhoti who places his hand on the seated person's head. A large backdrop behind shows a smiling man in a dark embroidered jacket beside a pink lotus, with Tamil script along the bottom edge. A microphone stands at left, and a flower-covered ceiling decoration hangs overhead. Several men in white stand behind, one wearing a green-badged sash. The seated figure's appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so the seated person is described by role only.
