A photograph indoors in front of pink draped fabric and a white wall with a window air conditioner. On the left, a smiling man in a rust-red turban and rust-red robe wears a long rudraksha-style brown bead necklace and a red mala, his hands pressed together in greeting. Beside him, a bearded sadhu with long dreadlocks, white forehead markings and an orange robe holds a long garland of white and multicolored beads and a folded cloth, placing it over the figure. Another orange-robed man stands behind, and a partially visible person sits at the lower right. The scene resembles a garlanding honour, though the person being garlanded is not clearly established as a particular individual.
