A photograph of a ceremonial stage decorated with garlands of marigolds, roses and white jasmine, with a gold-embossed throne backdrop. A seated figure in orange robes and a long white flower garland sits on a red-cushioned throne while a person in white kurta reaches up to touch the seated figure's head. Other men in white shirts and trousers and a bald man in orange and white stand around, and a woman in white sari with a beaded necklace stands at the right edge. A white-clad man bows low in the lower foreground. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a person, identified by the orange robes, garland and throne, though the face is not clearly visible.
