A photograph of five people standing on a golden-floored stage in an ornate hall with gilded pillars, carved lion figures and round turquoise medallions on the walls. Centre, a man in a saffron-orange robe with a bare upper chest stands before a red-cushioned throne-like seat, hands folded. To his left, a man in a white dhoti and shirt with a rudraksha-style necklace stands with hands clasped, and a man in a striped shirt stands at the far left. To the right, two women in saris, one pink and green and one red and yellow, stand together. A colourful rangoli design sits on the floor, surrounded by red petals and floating lotus flowers, with empty ornate benches at either side. Appearance-based cue: the central figure's saffron robe alone does not establish identity, so no identification is made; a printed caption or label is not visible.
