A photograph of a seated man in a rust-red robe garlanded with thick strands of white jasmine and pink and red roses, wearing a decorated white and pink crown. He is smiling while women in saris offer him fruit and flowers. A bare-chested man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala stands at left with hands joined. A woman in a rust-red sari with folded hands stands behind, and a woman in a white sari with gold border smiles at right beside a child in pink. Open cardboard boxes of rose petals sit beside him on an orange draped table, with an orange and red backdrop and standing fans. The seated man wears a crown and garlands; a person candidate by visible cues of crown, garlands and rudraksha-adorned setting, but identity is uncertain.
