A large portrait banner of a smiling man with long swept-back hair dominates the backdrop. In front, a seated man in a gold tunic and a yellow turban sits under a white jasmine-garlanded canopy with a brass finial, while two people in blue and turquoise kneel and lean toward him. A woman in white stands at right holding a ritual item, and others in white and cream sit or stand around a white cloth covered with flower petals. The banner is a printed photograph, not a person.
