A photograph of an outdoor covered courtyard beside an orange-painted wall with a framed photo board. In the foreground a woman in an orange saffron shawl and a red-and-white flower garland sits at a low red-draped seat, her hand raised toward a man in a blue short-sleeved shirt and rudraksha mala who bends forward to receive her blessing. Behind them, men in white shirts and white dhotis stand watching, and a bald priest in white with a gold chain and garland stands at right. A tray of bananas sits in the lower foreground beside a brass vessel. The figure in orange shawl and mala is a person candidate; the cues are the orange shawl, the garland and the mala, but the face and presentation remain uncertain, so the appearance is only partially distinctive.
