A photograph of a stage ceremony with a seated figure on a raised golden-and-red throne flanked by two golden lion sculptures. The central figure wears an orange-saffron robe, a large rudraksha mala and a bindi, and holds a lit lamp. Five people sit on the floor in front: a woman in a blue and white outfit, a woman in white with a green and red sari, a bald man in white clothes, and a young woman in orange with a sash who holds a brass tray of offerings and has her hands folded. Brass trays with flowers and oil lamps sit on the floor. Monitors are visible in the foreground. The scene suggests a puja with padapuja-style offerings. Five people are visible, plus the central seated figure.
