A photograph of a ceremony in smoke. A man seated on a red cushioned throne in front of a large gold lotus-petal backdrop wears a gold necklace, multiple gold chains, a gold armlet and a red-and-gold forehead mark. Several attendants in white dhotis with gold borders stand around him, one bare-chested with white sacred markings on his body, another in a maroon top applying something to the seated man's arm. A cloud of incense smoke fills the foreground and right side. Attendants serve as priests performing an honouring ritual.
