A photograph of a seated man wearing a pink turban and a gold-bordered white shawl, with a heavy gold necklace and a dark beaded mala, being garlanded or adjusted by a man in white clothes who stands in front of him and reaches toward his head. The seated man smiles. Behind them is a large arch of yellow, red, purple and white flower garlands and a gilded throne-like seat with ornate gold metalwork, in what looks like a temple-style hall. Two people are visible: the seated man and the standing man in white. No readable text beyond a faint photo credit.

A photograph of a seated figure on a golden throne being honoured with a garland by a standing man in white. The seated figure wears a pink turban, an orange-saffron garment over the shoulders, a heavy gold necklace and a rudraksha-style bead mala. The standing man in a white kurta and white dhoti lifts a red and white flower garland over the seated figure's head.
