A stage photo in a hall with maroon velvet drapes and a white floor. A figure in orange robes with bare shoulders and long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne-like seat, while a second figure in orange robes kneels before them on a red patterned rug, touching the seat. A cameraman in white clothes films at left. A line of women and men in white and light clothing waits at right, including one woman in a dark pink top and one in a purple sari, and a woman in a yellow shawl sits at far right. A projection screen is visible at upper right and a red bag sits at lower right. The orange-robed seated figure shows long hair and distinctive ceremonial attire, so it is a person candidate in the throne seat.
