A photograph of a ceremony in an ornate hall with a large ceremonial seat covered in orange marigold garlands and green-white leaf garlands. A young man in a dark t-shirt reaches up with his hands to place or hold a garland, while a woman in dark clothing with a red scarf stands at the left near the seat. Behind them, a crowd of devotees in white and light clothing watches, with chandeliers and cream-coloured walls in the background. The seated figure is largely hidden by the garlands, so no one can be identified on appearance.
