Photograph of two men standing close in front of a red curtain beside an ornate gold carved chair with a lion-like motif. The man on the left wears a white kurta, glasses and a red lanyard, with hands clasped in front of him. The man on the right wears a saffron-orange sleeveless wrap over his shoulders and has long dark hair swept back; his hand rests on the left man's shoulder in a gesture of greeting. A water bottle and a gold object sit on the table at lower centre, and a woman in dark clothing stands partly visible at the left edge. Cues in this image are insufficient to confirm the identity of the saffron-clad man, so the role is described as a devotee-style greeting.
