A photograph of a stage at a formal ceremony decorated with white, pink and red flower garlands, draped cream and maroon fabric, and a lower border of white and purple lilies. A standing figure in a saffron-orange robe with an orange head wrap stands centre stage, in the middle of the stage. Six seated people in white or light clothing and plain shirts sit in red-cushioned high-backed chairs at the front, one in a white shirt wearing dark glasses, another in a red shirt with arms folded. The figure in orange, appearance-consistent with a person, has long swept-back hair and orange saffron clothing; the attendee seated in red is a guest of honour. Attendees are in a formal ceremonial setting.
