A photo of a seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with a long garland of white flowers and red-and-white beaded strands, wearing a red-and-white tilak on the forehead and long dark hair. A young man in a white polo shirt stands with both arms outstretched toward him, a gesture of greeting or welcome.

Behind them is a large white circular backdrop against deep red drapes, with a white cushion and a seated attendant at the lower right.
