A photograph of a ceremonial puja in a flower-decorated hall with purple-lit walls. A seated man in front, wearing a gold crown, gold armbands, a long pink-and-white flower garland and gold necklaces over a rust-red garment, sits on a leopard-print seat under a flower arch. Behind him stands a large portrait or statue of a saint in orange robes and a brown turban holding a staff, set against a red floral backdrop. To the right, a woman in a white and gold sari with a gold-bordered shawl stands with folded hands, and a man in white folds his hands in namaskar. Attendants in orange and white sit nearby. Fresh flower garlands, white blossoms and palm leaves decorate the altar and floor. The seated figure has distinctive crown and garland cues, so he is a person candidate, seated in ceremonial honour.
