A photograph in an ornate hall with a gold-and-red decorated backdrop and a golden lion-form seat at right. A man in a saffron-orange robe stands at left with his head bowed, while a bare-chested young man in brown and gold dhoti with a gold-trimmed shawl holds a white flower garland above him, smiling, with a small microphone at his ear. A third man in brown robes with white forehead markings stands behind them at left. A red cushion and tiger-striped cloth sit at right. Whether the saffron-robed man is a person cannot be established from appearance alone, so the identification remains uncertain.
