A photo of a formal exchange in an indoor hall. On the left, a person with long dark hair wrapped in a saffron-orange turban with a beaded band, wearing an orange wrap, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and a leopard-print skirt, reaches toward a man in front. That man wears white with a black beaded mala, glasses and an ID badge, holding a certificate-style document while being handed an orange garland. Behind them, men in white kurtas and white shirts stand watching, and on the right a man with orange shawl and beaded bracelets joins his palms in greeting.
