A bearded man in a standing position with a short-sleeved maroon-and-gold dhoti and rudraksha-style beaded neckwear smiles and rests his hand on a gold throne-like seat. In front of him, a man in a purple and gold brocade shawl bows deeply and touches his forehead to the standing man's hand. A third man in a lilac silk shawl stands at left, and a seated figure appears at right near flower arrangements, a gold chair and a green-leaved backdrop. Lush floral arrangements of yellow and pink flowers decorate the stage. The scene reflects a respectful greeting ceremony.2014-12-27December 27 20142014-12-27December 27 20142014-12-27December 27 20142014-12-27December 27 20142014-12-27A photograph of a formal reception in a decorated hall. A man in beige clothes and a lavender-gold shawl bows low and kisses the palm of a shaved-headed figure in a rust-red and gold-bordered dhoti standing at right, who wears a gold chest necklace and bangles and has an ear microphone; the figure is bare-chested and wears a gold-threaded wrap. A second man in a grey shirt and gold-patterned shawl stands at left beside a red-and-orange patterned throne-style armchair with gold carved frame, and a third man in a light shirt stands behind him. A vase of white and yellow flowers sits on a small wooden table in front, a gold ceremonial plate stands at right, and a large backdrop shows an illuminated temple. Printed caption at the image corner reads a copyright line; the description is limited to the scene.2014-12-27A photograph in an ornate hall with a green painted backdrop of a temple complex and a large tree. In the foreground, a man in a purple and gold brocade shawl bows with palms pressed together toward a standing man in a maroon dhoti with gold borders, a rudraksha-style beaded mala and gold armlets, whose palms are also joined. A gold-framed throne with a halo-like back stands behind them, decorated with flower arrangements and yellow and purple blooms, and a red and orange floral-patterned sofa sits at left. Two more people are partly visible at the right near a gilded deity murti. Both main men wear face masks. The standing man is bare-chested above the dhoti, and the figure's appearance is consistent with the page's identification but not distinctive enough to confirm, so the a person field is unsure.2014-12-27December 27 20142014-12-27
