A photograph of an older man in a cream-white kurta with a dark lanyard and an event badge bending forward to offer flowers at the feet of a seated figure. The seated figure has long dark hair, a bare back and shoulders, and is draped in a thick garland of white jasmine, orange blossoms and red roses, with gold bangles and a flower in the hair. A red tilak mark is on the bending man's forehead. A large gold-edged wooden panel is on the right. In the background, another man with short dark hair stands partially visible. The scene looks like a devotional honouring ritual.
