A photograph of a ceremony on a raised stage draped in red, orange and white cloth. At centre, a seated figure in a red and gold garment with a large garland and a crown-like headpiece sits before an ornate shrine with a grey carved temple facade and a golden kalasha finial. A large heart-shaped halo of coloured beads frames the central figure. Around the stage, rows of seated devotees in white and cream clothing, with some in yellow and pink, face the centre. A man in orange robes sits at the left beside a golden throne-like seat with a striped canopy and garlands. In the foreground, a shaved-headed priest in an orange-brown dhoti and shawl, with a sacred thread, holds a lit oil lamp aloft. Brass vessels stand on the stage edges.
