A photograph of a long-haired man in white ceremonial dhoti and shawl seated on a red-cushioned throne decorated with dense garlands of red, yellow, purple and white flowers. He raises his hand in blessing and smiles. A golden lion-head carving sits at the front of the seat. Beside him, a man in an orange robe stands, and a woman in an orange-bordered white sari stands nearby. A man in a blue t-shirt and a man in cream clothes hold up white packets toward the throne, and a woman in white stands among the crowd. Pink and white drapery and a shaded stage frame the scene, with many people in white and orange clothes behind.
