A photograph inside a hall with white chairs and a green carpet runner. A seated man in an orange sleeveless top with a wrap, long dark hair swept back and a gold armlet, gestures with raised hands while flower garlands of yellow, white and red blossoms frame the foreground. At right, a man in a white shirt and wristwatch stands with palms pressed together in greeting, bowing toward him. Behind them, a row of men in white shirts and white trousers, some wearing lanyards, stand or sit, and a red drape hangs along the back wall beside a framed portrait. Apples sit at the bottom edge. Whether the seated figure is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the seated man is described by role only.

A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes wearing a heavy gold-beaded necklace, with long dark hair, smiling as she reaches toward a brass bowl of flowers and fruit on a wooden stand. A man in a white shirt with a white floral garland and folded hands bows smilingly toward her. Behind them, a man in white with a gold chain and another in white with a grey beard stand near a red-and-gold temple gate, and a man in white with an orange shawl stands at the right edge.
