A photograph of a ceremony in a decorated hall. A large printed portrait of a smiling man with long swept-back hair and a red-toned face hangs behind a seated figure. The seated figure wears an orange robe, a gold crown, a white flower garland and a gold necklace, with hands in anjali mudra, and sits on a red-cushioned seat beneath a flower-decorated canopy. In front, a row of devotees in white dhotis and white shirts with orange shawls sits with heads bowed in prayer. Strings of marigold garlands and colourful embroidered hangings decorate the walls and ceiling.
