A photograph taken on a polished wooden-look floor showing a standing figure seen only from the mid-torso down, wearing a white dhoti or skirt with a wide gold border and a garland of pink and red flowers draped across the body. The bare feet wear silver anklets and rest on the floor. Behind, a crowd of standing participants stands along the edge of the hall, several with palms pressed together in namaste, in white kurtas, cream and pink salwar, jeans and a sari. The scene suggests a group programme with an honoured figure at the centre, though the face is not visible and no one is identified.
