A photograph of a ceremonial scene before a red backdrop. A seated man in a gold-yellow turban and gold-embroidered cream silk kurta with a white shawl, wearing a gold necklace and long swept-back hair, sits on a red-cushioned throne decorated with white jasmine garlands and yellow and red flowers. A woman in a white sari raises her hand toward him in greeting. To the left, a man in an orange shawl holds a small book and wears rudraksha beads. A framed gold-toned carved panel with a deity image sits atop the throne. Because the page does not indicate a person's presence, the seated figure is described by role only.
