A group photograph on a stage draped with deep red velvet curtains. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned base, raising one hand in blessing. Around him stand many men in white kurta-style clothes, most wearing orange-and-yellow turbans and red or orange shawls with lanyards, some with hands folded in namaskar. Two young girls in patterned orange-and-brown dresses sit at the front, and a small boy in blue stands at left. Behind the throne is a flower-decorated arch with a garlanded deity murti at right, and a gold-and-flower decorated structure at left. A man in a white shirt and lanyard stands at the right edge. a person seated on the throne wears saffron robes, with hair not clearly visible, so identity is uncertain.
