A photograph of a ceremony on a raised white-draped stage in a bright hall with beige walls and tall windows. A man in white dhoti and shawl, with grey hair, stands at the left holding a silver plate. On the stage, a figure in white dhoti and red shawl kneels or bends beside a seated figure in saffron-orange robes wearing a garland of flowers and a red cloth. Behind them hangs a large orange-toned portrait of a man wearing an orange turban. Flower arrangements in yellow and purple sit at the stage corners, and a seated audience in red, black and white clothing faces the stage from the lower foreground.
