A photograph of a reception on a stage draped in red fabric. In the centre, a bearded man in a saffron-orange robe with a red-orange tilak on his forehead stands with palms pressed together, wearing a long garland of yellow and orange marigolds. To his left, a man in a red turban and dark red robe with a gold-yellow waistband smiles and gestures with his hands toward him. To his right, a bald man in wire-rimmed glasses and maroon robes with a gold-yellow border holds a wooden tray of white flowers and garlands. Behind them are ornate gold-framed shrines with deity murtis decorated with flower garlands, a brass oil lamp, and a canopy with colourful fringe. Whether the central figure is the person named on the page cannot be determined from appearance, so this description uses roles only.
