Photo of a ceremony on a red floor mat. A bare-backed devotee in white dhoti kneels and bows forehead-to-floor before an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions. Seated on the throne is a figure in saffron-brown robes wearing a large marigold and rose garland and a gold pendant necklace. A man in white dhoti with yellow border and rudraksha mala kneels beside the devotee, touching his back, and a person in orange holds an orange fruit at the right, as orange fruits are passed among attendants. The scene suggests a padapuja reverence, with the throne centred in the frame.
