A photograph on a stage at an ornate gold throne (peetha) with a lion-head armrest, draped in red fabric and garlanded with white and marigold flowers. A long-haired man in a saffron/orange robe stands on the throne's footstool, bending to hand a red-covered package to a small boy in a red-and-white checked shirt and jeans who reaches up barefoot. Behind them, a man in orange clothing and a woman in a green-and-gold sari bow with folded hands. Red curtains, a floral backdrop and brass kalasha-style lamps decorate the stage, and a speaker sits at the right edge.

A standing figure with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe and hands a red folder to a young woman in a red and blue silk sari with gold-trimmed borders and flower-decorated hair, who smiles and receives it with both hands. A third person in orange robes stands at the right edge near a dark curtain, and small brass bowls with flowers sit on the stage edge. Garlands of orange and white flowers hang from the backdrop.
