A photograph inside a plain white-walled hall with orange-red doors and red curtains. A man in orange dhoti and orange shawl stands in the doorway, wearing a thick garland of red, white and yellow flowers and sandals. Behind him a man in white dhoti and shirt and a barefoot boy in white stand near a white-covered table holding a sound system and amplifier. On the right, a monk in orange robes with bare shoulders photographs the garlanded man with a DSLR camera. A calendar with a Ganesha image hangs on the wall. The garlanded man may be a person, based on the orange clothing and large floral garland, but this is uncertain.
