Photograph of a stage event with a large golden ornate throne decorated with marigold garlands and a small golden canopy, set before a painted backdrop of an orange and yellow sunset sky. A seated figure in orange robes sits on the throne, with a kneeling person in white clothes before the throne. A woman in an orange saffron garment stands at the left beside a ceremonial staff, and two women in white saris and a person in white stand to the right. Several figures in white stand at the back left. Ceiling fans hang above, and a row of seated audience members, many with long hair, sit in the foreground facing the stage. The appearance of the seated figure on the throne is not clearly confirmable, so the identity is left unsure.
