Ceremonial photo in a hall decorated with flower garlands and a floral arch. A figure with long dark hair in an orange-saffron robe, wearing a multicolour flower garland, sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a golden footstool covered in white and orange flowers. An elderly man in white kneels on a red cloth at the base of the throne, bowing with hands together while another person bends over the footstool in front of him. A standing man in white kurta holds a silver vessel, another man in white dhoti and red-bordered shawl stands to the right, and a seated figure in orange clothing sits at the lower left edge. Brass lamps and offering vessels sit on the floor, and a portrait of the seated figure hangs on a stand in the background, along with cameras and operators.
