A group photograph on a red carpeted stage in front of an ornate golden throne with red cushions. A central seated figure in a deep red-orange robe with a red shawl sits on the throne, hands in anjali. Around him, about two dozen people in white dhotis and red-and-white sashes, and women in white and red saris, stand and kneel with palms pressed together in namaskar, many wearing rudraksha malas and red flower garlands. Red-and-gold pillars with red cabinets frame the stage. Whether the seated figure is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the central person is described by role only.
