A photograph of a temple-hall embrace inside a pillared yellow hall with an arched deity niche behind. Three men in saffron-orange robes are central: a bearded older man with white hair, a white tilak on his forehead and an orange turban, wraps his arms around a shorter man with black hair and a white flower garland, who is draped in orange cloth. A third man in orange, with an orange turban, steadies the embrace. On the left a man in white clothing smiles, and on the right a seated man in orange with a beaded necklace sits on the floor. A woman in a dark pink top stands in the background.
