Photograph inside a hall with a large backdrop painting of several Hindu deities, including Shiva with trident, a goddess seated on a lotus, and a white bull, against a blue sky with mountains. A central figure in a white embroidered sherwani, white turban with fan-shaped fold, white sash and white dhoti stands barefoot on a red-carpeted dais in front of a gold throne. Beside him a bearded man in white with an orange shawl holds his hand, and to the left a man in white with an orange vest is in motion. Several people in white and orange clothing stand at the right edge. Appearance-based candidate for a person: the central figure has a white turban, ornate white clothing and a presence on the throne dais, but the face and hair are not clearly visible, so the identification is uncertain.
