A photograph of a ceremonial welcome on a stage backdropped by a painted temple scene with a large tree. A man in a gold-bordered grey shawl and silver-grey garment holds a woven basket of fruit toward the stage. In the centre, a man in a rust-orange dhoti and matching shawl wears a long beaded rudraksha-style necklace and gold armbands, reaching toward a golden throne-like seat with a red cloth and flower arrangement. At right, a bare-chested priest with a sacred thread and white dhoti holds a tray of flowers and red cloth. A gilded seat with red cushion stands nearby, with yellow and white flower arrangements in front. A seated man in a white shirt watches in the background.
