Photograph of a ceremonial garlanding setting. A bearded man with long swept-back hair and a white flower crown sits centrally on a seat draped in a rust-red cloth, wearing red-brown robes and a large garland of white jasmine and red roses with green leaves; he holds limes in his hands and smiles. Behind him a shirtless man in a rudraksha mala and gold chain, wearing a white dhoti with an orange border, stands before an orange and maroon draped backdrop decorated with flower strings. At left, a man in a white shirt holds limes in a wicker basket, and a copper vessel sits nearby. Prominent cues suggest a person as the seated garlanded figure, though appearance is not conclusive.
