Photograph of a formal handover of a sheet of white paper between two religious figures. On the left, a person in saffron-orange robes wears a long gold-bead necklace and brown rudraksha-style bracelets, holding the paper with one hand. On the right, an elderly man with a gold crown, white vibhuti on the forehead, red kumkum dot, a red and gold brocade shawl, a red flower garland and a dark bead mala smiles while holding the other end of the paper. A gold bangle and gold ring are visible on his wrist and finger. The background shows blurred bright red, yellow and blue decorations. The paper is printed with small text that is too small to read.
