A photograph inside a metal-roofed hall with yellow steel trusses and hanging banners. In the foreground a man in a white turban with a yellow border and a white flower garland leans forward, smiling, extending his arm and a gold bracelet to hand something to a bald man in a white shirt with a dark beaded mala who smiles back. A small printed card or leaflet with red and orange flower-like imagery is in the exchange. Behind them, other men in white clothes stand near a wall clock and colourful hanging banners. The turbaned man's appearance includes a turban, garland and gold bracelet, but identity is uncertain from appearance, so he is described by role only.
