A photo from a ceremony on a stage with a large ornate gold throne-like seat backed by a golden fan-shaped panel and a gold canopy above, set against a backdrop of red roses and floral scrollwork. A central seated figure wears a red-maroon turban, a red-maroon robe with gold-trimmed bands, a white and red flower garland, a rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, and holds a sheet of paper while reading. To the right, a person in an orange robe stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, and another person in a cream sari stands behind. On the left, two shaven-headed men in maroon-orange robes with rudraksha malas stand near the throne, and rose petals are scattered on the stage. The central figure's appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so the seated figure is recorded as a priest-like presider in maroon garments rather than a confirmed identity.
