A photograph of two ornately dressed figures on an elevated stage in a temple-like setting with carved stone pillars and a purple draped backdrop. The figure on the left wears a red and orange turban, a green and gold layered skirt, bangles, and a garland of yellow and green flowers, holding a ceremonial fan-like object. Beside it stands a figure in a teal and orange skirt with a dark headpiece and a garland. Both appear to be statues or decorated murti-like figures rather than living people. To the right, a flower-garlanded object resembles a throne or peetha.
