A photograph of a short-haired figure in a reddish-brown robe with a shawl and long garlands of yellow marigolds and red-beaded mala, smiling and holding a small book or gift together with a man in an orange-red silk shawl and ornate garland. Around them stand men in white kurtas and grey shirts, and a painted blue and pink temple-style backdrop with gold finials is behind them. Appearance-based label: the figure with the shawl and beaded garlands is a person, receiving the gift on stage, but the appearance is not conclusive. Several other people are visible at the edges, including a bald older man in white and a man in a grey suit on the right.
