Photograph of a ceremonial gathering on a stage before an ornate gold throne with carved panels. A central seated figure in a rust-red robe with long dreadlocks, a beaded mala and a red cushion gestures with one raised hand while smiling; the figure is an appearance-based a person candidate with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha-style mala, so the appearance is consistent but not fully certain. Around him stand several people: a man at left with glasses, a white dhoti and a rudraksha mala with a horned trident above; a bare-chested man with dreadlocks and gold armbands in white dhoti; a woman in a yellow-gold garment with long hair; a figure in orange robes with long dreadlocks seen from behind; and a smiling woman at right in a red blouse and green sari with a long braid and a beaded mala.
