A photograph of a formal greeting in an indoor hall with pink-red curtains and framed posters on the walls. On the right, a bare-chested man wearing a brown-red wrap, a rust-coloured turban with gold trim, gold earrings and bracelets, and multiple long pink and orange flower garlands with a gold bead necklace, smiles and extends a hand in blessing toward a visitor. Facing him, a grey-haired man in a white shirt and dark trousers, wearing a red-beaded necklace, presses his palms together in anjali. Beside them, a younger man in white kurta with a sacred thread and white tilak, and an older man on the left in white with a red shawl, also stand with hands folded. Other attendees in white and saffron-brown dhotis stand behind a metal rope barrier. The bare-chested figure may be a candidate for a person, but the appearance cues are not sufficiently distinctive to confirm.
