A photograph of a ceremony on a stage backed by a dense wall of garlands in red, yellow, white, green and purple. A man seated in a red chair is smiling broadly, with a bare upper body, a brown shawl, a thick gold necklace and layered gold garlands, pink flower garlands draped over his shoulders, and a gold ornate crown being placed on his head. Two men in saffron-orange robes stand beside him: one places the crown with both hands, the other rests a hand on his shoulder. On the left, an older bearded man with white hair in saffron robes and a saffron shawl watches. Blurred heads of the audience appear in the lower foreground.
