A photograph of a ceremony on a raised stage draped in cream and maroon fabric, with ornate pillared canopies and a red floral backdrop. Seated centrally on a cushioned throne is a figure in an orange-saffron robe. A man in white kurta stands before the throne, facing it with hands together, while another man in white stands beside him. Along both sides of the stage, many people in white dhotis and saris stand in rows, and a large seated audience in white fills the foreground. Brass lamps flank the stage, and ceiling fans hang above. This appears to be a padha-pooja ceremony honouring the seated figure.
