December 25 20052005-12-25A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange robe with a golden-bordered shawl and green garland being garlanded by a man in a white shirt and white trousers. Behind them is a backdrop of white and orange marigold garlands and green leaf festoons. A lit oil lamp is at the left edge and a smiling woman in a teal sari stands at the right.
