Behind them hangs a red-and-orange drapery with string lights and marigold swags.

Two other people's hands and a partial figure appear at the edges.2012-04-01A smiling man with long dark hair, a red bindi and a long-stemmed garland of red rose petals and white flowers sits on an ornate throne-like chair in front of a red-and-orange lit backdrop with a silhouetted standing figure.
