Photograph of a ceremonial honouring on a stage with an ornate golden shrine-style backdrop. A seated figure in a red-maroon robe and matching turban-style headwear, with a red and gold shawl draped over the shoulders, receives attention. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers leans forward offering a folded document or paper, while a man in a yellow shirt and white shoulder cloth holds up a silver tray. Behind them, figures in saffron and orange robes and a young attendant in an orange turban and rudraksha mala sit or stand. The figure in red is seated on a throne-like chair; the presence of a rudraksha mala and ceremonial shawl are the only cues and are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the seated figure is recorded as unsure. Counting visible physical people, roughly eight are shown.
