Outdoor ceremony on a raised platform. A seated man in orange-saffron robes, with long dreadlocked hair, a beard, and a multi-strand rudraksha mala with ceremonial gold ornaments, sits on a silver-backed throne with a golden lion figure beside him. He holds a ceremonial fan-like whisk and smiles as he rests a hand on the head of a shaven-headed devotee in orange cloth and a rudraksha mala who kneels with bowed head before him. A magenta umbrella stands overhead, a flower garland and offerings lie near the throne, and a cameraperson in white stands behind. Other devotees in orange robes sit on the steps and a crowd is visible in the background.
