A photograph of a stage ceremony in front of a large gold-toned relief of a four-armed goddess with a crown, holding a raised hand and a lotus-like object, set against red draped curtains. A seated figure on a gilded throne with a leopard-print cloth receives devotion; a man in white dhoti and a woman in white sari bend forward with hands folded near the throne, while a man in mustard-yellow kurta holds a long staff. A man in white dhoti with bare upper body stands at left, another in maroon kurta and a man in navy kurta stand nearby, a man in green-striped sari and a woman in green sari look on, and a figure in a blue costume raises one arm at far right. Brass lamps, a trident, and bowls of fruit sit at the base.
