A photograph of a ceremony on a stage. A bald man in a cream kurta and glasses reaches up with both arms to place or adjust a red-orange cloth over the head of a seated figure. The seated figure wears a rust-red robe, has long dark dreadlocked hair, a white forehead marking, and sits on a leopard-print cushion before an ornate silver throne with a blue backdrop. Behind them stand two people with white-painted faces and bodies in white garments, and a figure in red at the left edge. The scene reads as a darshan blessing.
