A photograph of a ceremonial stage backdrop framed by white, orange and red flower garlands, with a golden ornate arch above a gilded lattice panel. A man seated on a red cushioned throne wears a white turban, a white shawl and a red and white flower garland, with a gold-bordered cloth around his waist. Around him, several people in white clothes with orange shawls stand and crouch, one older man in white reaching toward him, and women in white and orange saris bend in devotion. A white cloth-covered platform in front is strewn with flower petals and marigolds. The scene appears to be a devotional honouring ceremony. The seated figure shows crown-like white turban and garland cues, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.
