A photograph of a ceremonial stage decorated with dense marigold garlands in yellow and orange across a roof canopy, with purple-lit wooden architecture behind. A gold-framed throne-like seat under a floral arch is at centre, with a red floral backdrop. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts stand near the arch, with one man in a white dhoti and bare upper body moving near the gold seat. Two men wear saffron-orange cloth draped over their shoulders, and women in cream and gold saris stand at right with hands folded in namaskar. Floral arrangements and yellow garlands line the stage edge. No figure on the throne is clearly identifiable as a person by appearance, so the seated figure is not claimed.
