Large group photo of many men and women in white ritual clothing seated and standing on a light wooden floor in front of a golden ornate throne with a red cushioned seat and a circular emblem on its back. Behind the throne hangs a black backdrop painted with planets, orbits, stars and a ringed planet. Most attendees wear white kurtas or saris with lanyards and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, some in pale yellow or orange. The throne is empty. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person in this crowd, so no identification is made.
