Photograph of a ceremonial honouring at a flower-decorated seat. A long-haired figure in a white dress with a gold-bordered cloth and a long rudraksha mala sits on a white throne draped with white and orange-rimmed flower garlands, smiling and resting an arm on the chair back. Before them a man in white clothes kneels with hands raised near the seated figure, while a standing older woman in a white sari with a red mala watches. On the right a man in white with an orange shawl kneels holding a red-and-white garland. Pink petals cover the floor and a plant canopy overhangs the scene. The seated figure has distinctive long hair and rudraksha beads, so an appearance-based candidate for a person is present, though the identification is uncertain.
