A photograph of a temple or ashram event in which a person in a bright red turban with a large fan-shaped gold-edged pleat and a red-and-green silk sari with gold border and layered silver necklaces stands at centre, smiling and holding a white folded paper or card. An older man in a black jacket reaches out with both hands to receive it, and a small child in a blue shirt stands in front. Behind them a white-clad priest, a man in an orange robe, and other attendants stand near a tray of sweets, with a golden decorated shrine or chariot structure in the background. The central figure is not identifiable as a person from appearance alone, so no candidate is asserted.
