A photograph of a figure in a red and gold patterned garment and a dark red turban, with a white flower garland and gold-toned adornments, being draped with an orange shawl by a hand from the left. Around him, four men in orange shawls stand with palms pressed together or hands clasped in greeting against a pale marble-walled room. One man wears white kurta and beard, another a grey kurta with spectacles, and two older men in glasses and white shirts smile. A small sign on the wall reads an institutional name. The turbaned figure has red sindoor on the forehead and appears to be the honoured guest receiving the shawl.
