A photograph inside a large hall with white walls, high windows and a maroon drape. A seated man with long, swept-back dark hair wears an orange robe and a pink-and-white flower garland, and holds an object toward a young girl in a maroon dress with gold trim. A woman in a red-and-gold sari and a small boy in a white shirt stand nearby. A second man in orange, wearing a shawl and gold chain, stands behind them. The seated man's cues are consistent with a person. Behind them a crowd of children and adults in white and cream clothes sits on the floor, with flower decorations and a golden figure at the right edge.
