A photograph of a ceremonial gathering on a red-carpeted stage with red drapes behind. Several men in saffron-orange robes sit on ornate gold-and-red thrones; the foreground figure on the left wears orange with a gold elephant-shaped armrest. Behind them a white-robed man with dark curly hair kneels, and a man in a yellow dhoti-style garment bows forward at the lower right. A woman in a pink sari with gold border kneels in the foreground, and another woman in a green sari stands at right near a camera tripod. Gold ornate staffs and a golden cobra-hood canopy stand behind the seated figures. Some seated men wear dark-framed glasses and have grey beards. The scene suggests a seated ritual reception with devotees paying respect.
