A photograph of a stage ceremony in front of a large backdrop showing a smiling man in a pink turban. A person in a rust-orange robe with a rust turban stands on a red and gold throne draped with a tiger-print cloth, holding a red and gold shawl above the head of a man in a maroon kurta, white dhoti and gold-embroidered turban who stands with palms pressed together. A shaven-headed man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala holds a tray nearby. Two women in orange saris sit at the right, one clapping, and a red stage floor carries petals. The standing figure on the throne wears a long orange garment and a garland of white and colourful flowers, consistent with a shawl-bestowing honour rather than a named ritual. The backdrop and page establish the setting but the figure's appearance alone is not enough to identify him.
