A photograph of a stage set at a formal ceremony. A man in a rust-red robe and matching orange-red turban stands before a gilded throne with an ornate golden arch and red cushion, wearing a beaded rudraksha mala, a ceremonial gold necklace and gold armbands, with long dark hair falling behind him. Before him an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti bows deeply, reaching down toward a red and gold cushion on the floor. Golden lion, elephant and bull figures stand on the platform, potted green plants flank the throne, and a microphone stand is at right. Painted deity panels in blue and gold fill the backdrop between magenta curtains.
