A photograph of two men in saffron-orange robes indoors against pale pink and white tiled walls. The standing man on the left wears an orange turban, a gold ceremonial necklace with a pendant, and presses his palms together in greeting while smiling. The seated man on the right, wearing an orange shawl over his head and shoulders, leans forward and holds a flowering sprig of pink-blossomed plant.
