A photo in a hall with red curtains and a ceiling projector screen showing a figure in red and gold. In the foreground a man in an orange saffron turban and orange robe bows low, his hands raised, and places his hand on the head of a younger man in a rust-brown dhoti and shawl with a long rudraksha mala and gold armband. Behind them men and women in white garments, some wearing lanyards, stand near metal stanchions with red mats on the floor; a golden throne-like seat is visible at the back. Apples lie in the bottom right corner. The bowing elder wears distinctive orange-saffron clothing and turban; the younger man wears rudraksha beads. Identity is unsure from appearance.
