Photograph of a stage ceremony in a hall with a red velvet draped valance and a white projection screen. A man in orange robes with long swept-back hair holds a brass aarti lamp toward a flame burning on a red-draped pedestal decorated with yellow marigold garland. In front of him, a figure in a blue and pink sequined kurta, white shawl and white turban stands with head bowed toward the flame. Behind them, a cameraman films and an orange-robed attendant stands at the left edge. A large decorated cake with red petals and sweets sits in the foreground. The orange-robed man lifting the lamp shows long hair and orange clothing, a distinctive presentation, so the candidate is in person but appearance-based identity is uncertain.
