A smiling man in white ceremonial dress, with a white turban, a red-and-gold tilak on his forehead, a long gold and bead necklace, and a bare right shoulder, stands beneath a red, green and white fringed canopy decorated with flower garlands. He holds out a clear acrylic award plaque with a gold-bordered emblem toward a man in a white shirt and dark trousers, who receives it with both hands. Behind them, a woman in a sari and a monk in saffron stand near floral garlands, and a golden throne-like seat is wrapped in marigolds and red flowers. Glowing decorative lamps are set in a pink-walled hall.
