A photograph of a formal ceremonial honouring at an indoor hall with a red curtain backdrop. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a bare-shouldered wrap stands behind a white-haired elderly man in a peach-coloured shawl over white clothes, placing his hands on his shoulders as the elder bows slightly. A man in white shirt and saffron cloth bends at the table in front, a white table holds a water bottle, and attendants in white with yellow shawls carry brass trays of fruit and offerings. A photographer with a camera stands at left, and a projector screen hangs in the background. Visible people are about six, and the elderly man is shown with a gold-bordered maroon shawl draped over his shoulders.
