A photograph of a ceremonial honouring inside a temple-style room with a gold-framed throne and red velvet curtain. A seated man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala and an orange turban-like head covering stands while a woman in an orange-and-gold silk sari with a green garland and gold bangles drapes a pink and orange shawl over his shoulders. Around them, men in white shirts with orange shawls stand, one holding a booklet, and a pineapple sits on a tray near the flowers. The person in the orange turban and rudraksha mala shows appearance cues that are only partly distinctive, so identity is uncertain, and no name is printed on the scene itself.2013-10-19October 19 20132013-10-19October 20 20132013-10-20 +1 copiesOctober 19 20132013-10-19A photograph of a ceremonial reception at an indoor hall with maroon curtains.
