A photograph of a staged ceremony on a blue-carpeted platform before an ornate white and gold backdrop with pink diamond-patterned panels, framed by a garland of white, yellow, orange and red flowers. A central figure with long dark hair and a white garment sits on a red cushioned seat, with a white-clad devotee and a woman in an orange shawl kneeling before him. Around them, men in white dhotis and shirts, and women in white saris, orange shawls and a blue sari stand or kneel, some holding offerings. Orange and white flower petals scatter the floor and decorative flower swags hang on the backdrop. A pedestal fan stands at the left edge.
