A photograph at an indoor convention hall shows a person in a large white turban with a yellow band and a white-and-multicolour flower garland, seen from the side with a broad smile. A man in a plain white kurta and a rudraksha mala with a pendant stands in front of them, one hand raised to the forehead of the turbaned person, a gesture of blessing. Behind them, several men in white kurtas, one wearing an orange shawl, stand near a standing fan, with a red carpet and scattered flower petals on the floor.
