A photograph of a ceremonial stage event. Seated on an ornate silver throne decorated with red, purple and yellow flower garlands is a central figure with a bare upper body, a gold-coloured necklace and rudraksha-style beads, a dark swept-back hairstyle and a white-marked forehead, who is receiving service. Around him, attendants in saffron-orange cloth stand and kneel: one on the left wears an orange turban and wrap with a red-tinted arm, a woman with long dark braided hair kneels in orange cloth pouring or offering at his feet, and a man at right in orange holds a brass vessel and wears heavy beaded jewellery. A silver-gold canopy with hanging ornaments tops the throne. The background shows a red-lit backdrop with a temple-tower image. Stage railings sit in the foreground.
