A photograph of a ceremonial stage decorated with multicoloured flower arrangements in red, yellow, pink and white behind a golden lion-shaped throne. A man in an orange turban, orange robe and layered garlands of white and pink flowers sits on the throne, with a rudraksha-style necklace and golden chain visible. Beside him on the stage, a shaved-headed priest with white forehead markings and a white dhoti sits cross-legged, holding a brass plate, next to a man in white kurta. Brass plates with flowers and offerings rest on the red-cloth platform, and pink and white flowers decorate the front. Whether the seated figure is a person cannot be established from appearance here, so the figure is described by role.
