A photograph of a ceremonial moment in an indoor hall. A man in white kurta and white head cloth kneels and bows low, placing his hands on a silver base beside a golden lion-form seat. A seated figure in orange robes and a red-patterned cloth, wearing a gold necklace and holding a garland, sits on a throne-like seat with a golden lion head. Standing behind them are people in orange shawls, a woman in a green sari with a red shawl, and attendants in white, many with hands folded in respect. Flower garlands hang near the seat.

A second orange-robed man sits beside them. A golden trident stands behind, next to a gilded animal figure and an orange draped table with flower garlands. Seated devotees in white fill the background on a red-and-white carpet with rush mats, in a festival hall with a microphone stand at right.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and a garland of yellow flowers around the neck. A bald man in white kurta bends forward with palms joined, offering reverence, and a woman in an orange sari with yellow flowers holds a small plate beside the throne. A woman in red blouse and white sari and a woman in yellow dupatta stand near the throne. On the left, a man in orange robes with a rudraksha-style mala stands beside men in white shirts. Red and white flower garlands decorate the throne and stage.
