Stage ceremony photo with a seated man on an ornate silver throne draped in a leopard-print cloth, wearing rudraksha malas, a red-orange lower garment and a tilak on his forehead. Several attendants surround him: a bare-chested man with long dreadlocks and red-orange garments, a shaven-headed priest in white with a gold-bordered cloth, and women in white and magenta saris handing items. Red cushions and pink flower offerings lie at the throne base, and a large screen behind shows a sunset sky.

Two long-haired men in orange and white dhotis stand and kneel near him, one kneeling before a white cloth and flower-decorated offering on a brass platform. Women in orange and white saris, gold necklaces, and orange-clad attendants hold threads and stand around the seat, with a black bucket nearby.
