Inside a decorated hall, a long-haired man in saffron robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet cushion, a microphone on a stand before him. A woman in a white sari with gold border kneels at his right, offering a framed photograph or card that he is receiving with both hands. Behind them a shaved-headed monk in saffron, holding papers, stands near a folding chair draped in orange cloth. A small table holds fruit, a water bottle and books, and a standing fan and yellow curtains fill the background.
