A photograph of a festive ceremony at a temple-style stage. A seated figure on an ornate golden throne with a heart-shaped mandala backdrop wears a crown, multicoloured garlands and a rudraksha-style mala, and smiles while devotees approach. Around the throne, a bare-chested man in saffron-orange cloth and a woman in red-orange sari stand near offering trays. Men in white dhotis and women in white saris with flower patterns hold brass plates of offerings, and a cameraman with a tripod films the scene. Golden lion and bird carvings and a deity relief decorate the stage, and flower garlands hang on the pillars.
