A photograph of a seated man on a gold-carved throne with a red cushion and a large ornate golden umbrella overhead, wearing a rust-red robe and a garland of white flowers. He smiles and extends his hand toward a priest in white dhoti and shawl, bare-chested with a rudraksha mala, who bends forward holding a garland and a kalasha-like vessel draped in purple cloth. A second bare-chested priest in white dhoti with yellow border stands at left. Marigold and jasmine garlands and loose flowers lie at the base of the throne, beneath a tin-roofed open shelter. Appearance-based label: a person is not applied, as the seated man's cues are limited to a red robe and garland; his role is a seated honoured figure receiving a naming-ceremony offering.
