Night-time photograph under a corrugated metal shelter strung with flower garlands and red triangular bunting. On the left, a seated figure in orange robes and long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne draped with yellow, white and magenta flower garlands; the figure is shown in profile, and the image gives no appearance-based cues sufficient to confirm the presence of a candidate. On the right, an older woman in a white sari with a green border and a red-beaded necklace stands and walks toward the throne. Behind them, several seated people in white and orange clothing watch, and a man in white holds a camera. The scene is lit mainly by a dim overhead light.
