A photograph of a man seated on an ornate silver throne in a courtyard during an outdoor ceremony with smoke in the air. He wears a leopard-print turban with a yellow flower, a dark red-brown robe, multiple rudraksha malas across his chest and arms, a gold pendant necklace, and a small red tilak on his forehead. He rests one hand on a silver staff or rod across his lap. Beside him stands an ornate silver lamp or offering dish holding small items. Several women and a man in the background sit watching in saffron, pink and green clothing. A small fire glows in the lower left corner. The sandy courtyard has red pillars behind the seated figure.
