A photograph of a padapuja-style ceremony on a stage. A woman in a red and orange robe, with long dark hair and a flower garland, sits on an ornate gold throne with a red-and-white flower-decorated backrest. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti bows with his forehead touching a red-cushioned tray of flowers at the base of the throne. Behind the throne a gold trident stands. Two men in orange robes with rudraksha malas and gold pendants stand to the left, and a woman in a pink salwar kameez and another woman in white stand to the right, one leaning in with her hands near the seated figure's feet. A painted forest backdrop and a brass vessel are visible. The seated figure has no clear a person cues such as a saffron robe and crown, so the identity is uncertain.
