A photograph of an indoor ceremony beneath a decorated stage with a large ornate golden-brown throne-style seat draped with white cloth, flower garlands and tassels. A standing figure in an orange-red turban and orange shawl, with a multicoloured flower garland and rudraksha-style beads, holds hands folded in namaskar. Around him stand men in white shirts and dhotis, and a man in an olive shirt; a woman in a cream sari with a lanyard watches at right. In the foreground, a long-haired man in white clothes bows with his back to the camera, and another man bends low at the bottom edge. Behind them is a blue and white banner reading DHYANAPEETAM, with a black panel carrying more text, and portrait photos of robed figures are displayed on the backdrop. Several people wear lanyards.
