A photograph of a ceremonial event in front of a large red-toned portrait banner of a smiling bearded man with long hair. A seated figure in a golden turban, cream-coloured silk garment and gold necklace sits on a red cushioned throne under an ornate gold canopy draped with white and yellow flower garlands. A bare-chested man in a light blue t-shirt and white dhoti leans forward with palms outstretched toward the seated figure. A woman in a white and light blue sari with palms pressed together stands at right, another woman in white with a rudraksha-style necklace stands at far right, and a man in a white kurta with an orange shawl holds white paper at left, while a young man in a red patterned shirt stands with arms folded at far left. Five physical people are visible apart from the printed portrait.
