A stage ceremony in front of a large black deity murti adorned with flower garlands and gold jewellery, with a golden trident and a golden hooded cobra canopy behind a gilded throne. Four men stand on the carpeted stage: a bearded elder with grey hair in an orange robe and orange shawl on the left, a bald man seen from behind in a rust-brown robe with a golden-bordered cloth, and two bearded men on the right in orange-saffron robes and shawls, one bowing with hands folded, the other with long hair tied up. A gilded lion-figure stool sits at the lower left. The blue starry backdrop and watermarked archive photo show a formal satsang-style ceremony.
