A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair, bare-shouldered and wrapped in a maroon-red cloth, wearing a double-strand rudraksha mala and a red tilak on his forehead, smiling as he extends his hand toward a man in a pale pink kurta with a rudraksha mala who leans in with palms pressed together in greeting. A gold-coloured ornate side table stands between them. Behind them, several people in white, yellow and pink clothing stand in a white-walled room, one man in a white shirt and jeans with a hand raised, and a person in orange clothing holds up a phone.
