A photograph of a ceremonial scene in a temple-style hall. A seated man in reddish-brown robes and heavy gold necklaces, with a white horizontal forehead mark and long dark hair, raises a bundle of green leaves overhead while sitting on an ornate silver throne with red cushions. Beside him, an attendant in orange robes and an orange headwrap leans forward, holding a white woven pot. Behind them stand a carved stone shrine with a deity murti, gold-draped structures and brass lamps. Two people are visible. A microphone stand is in front of the throne. The a person candidate is shown with saffron/ornate cues only partially visible, so identity is uncertain.
