A man in a brown garment with gold trim and an orange shawl smiles broadly while placing his hands on the shoulders of another man who bends forward in a white dhoti-style garment and orange shawl. Both wear orange shawls; the bending man's shawl is saffron. Behind them a bald man in white, a red velvet curtain backdrop and a standing fan are visible. The scene suggests a respectful greeting or honouring at an event. A Swamiji (probable) candidate, identified by long swept-back hair, orange shawl and ceremonial clothing, is the smiling man in brown with gold trim, shown in person.
