A photograph of a padapuja-style ritual on a raised dais under a decorated tent. A young man in an orange dhoti with a gold border stands barefoot on a seated man's back; he wears a gold turban, a gold earring, a rudraksha-style wrist mala, and a garland of yellow marigolds, white jasmine and red roses. The seated man, wearing an ornate green and gold headdress, a flower garland and orange cloth, looks forward with his feet resting on a golden step. Crowds of devotees are seated in the foreground, with hanging striped tassels and a camera crane overhead.
