A photograph of two men facing each other in profile at close range, with hands raised palm-out toward each other. The man on the left wears a cream kurta with a gold-toned bracelet and a short beard. The man on the right has long dark hair tied in a bun, wears a red garment with a gold border draped over his shoulder, and multiple rudraksha mala necklaces. Blurred figures in white and red stand in the background, with a red curtain behind them. Neither man's appearance is clearly that of the a person, so no identification is made.2011-09-04A photograph of two men facing each other in profile before a red draped backdrop.
