A photograph of an indoor ceremonial gathering on a blue carpeted stage. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes, a leopard-print cloth around the waist, heavy gold necklaces, gold armbands and a gold forehead band hands a yellow ball and a folded paper to a kneeling man in a pink striped shirt, who holds his cupped hands out. Behind them a silver trident stands upright beside the seat. Four women stand in white or pale-coloured saris with orange-red shawls and rudraksha malas; two smile, and another woman in a pink sari stands at the back. A red-upholstered throne-like seat and a microphone stand are visible, with a framed picture on the wall behind.
