A photograph of a ceremony in which a man in an orange turban, bare-chested and draped in a multicoloured garland of orange marigolds, white flowers and red beads, sits on a red zebra-striped cushioned seat in front of an ornate gold-carved throne. He holds out his hands to receive a small yellow card or envelope from a man in a white shirt and cream trousers, wearing a rudraksha mala and white vibhuti tilak on his forehead, who bows forward. Behind them stand two men in saffron-orange robes with gold borders, one with a white forehead mark and rudraksha malas. A banana-leaf decoration and a red and green cloth banner with a bird motif hang behind the seated figure, and a microphone stands in the foreground.
