Photo of an event stage with a gilded ornate throne under a golden canopy. A man in saffron-orange robes, a red-orange turban and a large rudraksha-style bead necklace sits on the throne with a gold trident beside him; the a person candidate has long swept-back hair and rudraksha malas, but the image is ambiguous. Seated nearby on a white sofa is a man in a light blue shirt and dark trousers. A standing figure in white dhoti with gold borders and a bare upper back faces the stage, with a second person in orange robes at right beside a tall brass lamp. A pink backdrop shows a painted deity murti with a trident. Small brass oil lamps and marigold flowers rest on side tables. Seated audience members appear in the foreground at the bottom edge.
