Indoor photograph of a ceremonial gathering in a decorated hall with red and yellow banners and a white canopy. A man in a rust-red robe and gold beaded necklace stands at right, wearing large round glasses, a white sacred ash mark on the forehead with a red dot, and a heavy garland of white flowers, red roses and green leaves. He raises one hand in blessing and holds a printed booklet. At left, an elderly man in white clothes presses his palms together in greeting, and a younger man in a white shirt bends forward with folded hands. Other people in white and orange are visible behind. The central figure has distinctive garland and robe cues, but appearance alone does not confirm identity, so he is described by role as a guest of honour receiving greetings.
