A photograph taken on a stage with a dark purple curtain backdrop, where a crowd of young men and women dressed in white and orange stands around a central ornate golden throne. A seated figure in an orange robe sits on the throne, which has a crown-like canopy decorated with flowers. Some participants wear white kurtas and orange shawls, while young women wear white saris with orange borders, and one woman in a turquoise sari stands at the front. Two men at the lower left hold red batons and wear orange headbands and garlands, and the red steps are scattered with flower petals and confetti. Several dozen people are visible, with many more partly cut off at the edges. The seated figure's identity is uncertain, so the subject is described by role only.
