A photograph of a ceremonial stage with a throne-like seat backed by a large arch of marigold and rose garlands in yellow, orange, red and purple. A seated figure in a pink turban and light clothing sits on the throne, nearly buried beneath a huge heap of pink and white flower petals. Two devotees in white and pale pink prostrate on a red patterned carpet in front of the flower heap, with scattered petals and marigolds. A standing person in white shirt and white dhoti stands at the left edge. Brass oil lamps (deepa stands) flank the throne and a gilt chair stands at the right. The backdrop shows painted temple-style pillars and foliage.
