Photograph in an orange-walled room with three framed pictures on the back wall. A man in a pink knitted beanie and pink sweater, with an orange shawl over his shoulders, leans in and embraces a man with long swept-back dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, gold earrings, layered gold and black beaded necklaces, and a bare chest under an orange shawl; he lowers his head as the other man's hands rest on his shoulders. A cameraperson with a camera stands at left, and a brass plate of marigold flowers appears at the right edge. The taller figure's distinctive hair, ornate necklaces and orange shawl are consistent with the page's a person reference, so the appearance-based label is probable; the shawl and garlands are present, but the appearance is not fully certain.
