A photograph of a ceremonial exchange on a decorated stage. A figure in a saffron-orange dhoti and orange shawl, with an orange turban and a red mala around the neck, stands before a gilded throne covered in red cushions and a tiger-striped cloth, hands pressed together in namaste. Facing them, a man in a cream kurta and white dhoti with long dark hair holds out a white paper gift bag printed with a tree logo. Behind them, garlands of red and white flowers and hanging tassels frame the scene, and women in orange-red saris with rudraksha malas sit on the right, several with hands folded.
