A smiling figure in an orange-red turban and saffron robe stands at the centre of a crowd, wearing a large garland of green leaves, white flowers and red roses and a gold beaded necklace, with a rudraksha mala visible. Behind him a large gilded oval backdrop frames the scene against deep red drapery. Men in white shirts and dhotis, some wearing ID lanyards, press close, and a bald man in a green shirt faces him from the foreground.
