A photograph of a festive stage with a golden throne decorated with yellow and white garlands, framed by a wall of yellow flowers, red and pink arches and a circular portrait of a bearded sage in a saffron turban. A seated figure in a maroon garment, orange turban and garland sits on the throne, while a man in white kurta and dhoti bends forward to offer respect. Several people in saffron shawls stand nearby, and women in orange and cream saris with orange shawls stand at the right. Marigold petals cover the red carpet, and a white canopy with red scalloped trim overhangs the stage. The seated figure is not clearly identifiable from appearance, so no identity is asserted.
