A photograph of a seated man in an orange-brown turban with gold and jewelled head ornament, wearing a saffron-orange shawl over the shoulders, multiple tiers of gold necklaces, a gold armlet and bangles, and rudraksha malas, smiling as he holds a handful of sweets. Before him a man in white dhoti and shirt with rudraksha mala bends forward receiving sweets, while another man kneels to his left with a red tilak. Behind them, figures in white dhotis with rudraksha malas stand near an oil lamp, a gold-carved throne with red velvet cushions fills the background, and a fan stands at left. The scene appears to be a Deepavali blessing setting with sweets distribution.
