A photograph of a ceremonial moment on a decorated stage. In the centre, a person in a maroon sarong and a lavender-and-maroon shawl, with long dark hair, faces away from the camera and raises an arm to touch or hold something above a seated man's head. The seated man in a white shirt and white trousers, with glasses and a wristwatch, bows with palms pressed together. To the left, a bald man in white clothes holds a silver tray with a white cloth. To the right, an older man in a white shirt stands with hands folded. Behind them is an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head arms and a gold-and-red backdrop, with a robed figure in saffron and string lights in the background.
