A photograph of a ceremonial moment at a stage. A figure seated on a golden-armed throne wears an orange-red turban, orange-and-gold draped cloth, a heavy gold chain necklace and beaded bracelets; the figure's back is turned to the camera. In front, a woman kneels with long dark hair streaked with orange, wearing an orange blouse and an orange shawl printed with script, gold ornaments. A man in white dhoti with a red-and-gold shawl and garland stands behind her, holding a red cloth. Behind them, people in white clothes and red garlands stand in a crowd, and a large black electric fan is visible. a person: the seated figure wears a turban, swept-back hair, gold chains and ornate orange-gold clothing, a role consistent with a seated spiritual leader receiving a devotee.
