A photograph of a ceremonial moment indoors. A bearded man with white hair and beard, wearing a saffron-orange shawl and an orange turban-style cap, leans forward as a woman in a brown and gold sari with a flower-decorated bun and yellow garland places her hand on his shoulder. Beside him a bald man in a red-brown dhoti wears a blue lanyard and a long rudraksha mala, and another bald man in orange robes with a white forehead mark and a rudraksha mala stands at the back right. In front, a white cloth covers a table with a gold-toned ornate object and an orange cloth. A red banner with a stylised bird logo and a wall sconce sit in the background, and a bald head is partly visible at the bottom.
