Photograph of a staged ceremonial scene on a stage with a red draped backdrop. A woman seated on an ornate gilded throne with lion-carved armrests wears a yellow and gold saree with a red-and-gold border, layered gold necklaces, a maang tikka and a braided plait, with henna on her hands. A young man in a yellow kurta with a rudraksha mala kneels at her side, holding a brass tray draped in red cloth. A water bottle sits on the stage. No printed caption or candidate a person appearance is visible; the woman is an honoured figure on a throne, not an identified person.
