A photograph of a seated figure with long dark hair wearing an orange saffron shawl over a red top, sitting on a red cushion atop an ornate gold-trimmed throne-like seat with a red patterned cloth. He extends his hands toward a man in a rust-brown kurta who clasps them in front of him. A kneeling man in a white shirt with a yellow-orange shawl is seen from behind at lower right, and standing figures in orange and white shirts watch in the background. Behind them are garlands of white, yellow and red flowers and a bright orange wall. Hair and clothing colours are as described; the scene is a blessing exchange.
