A photograph of a stage ceremony in a hall decorated with orange and white backdrop panels, palm fronds and a large marigold-and-flower arch. A seated figure on a gold throne with a red cushion wears an orange robe and a white garland; a white-clothed attendant bends forward to offer something at the throne while others stand around in white and cream clothes. A kneeling man in an orange robe sits at the base of the dais, and a row of women in white saris stands at the right. The red and green stage carpet and bright floral arch give the scene a formal, ritual atmosphere.

The seated figure has long dark hair and wears a white garment. Around him, a group of attendants in white and cream clothing stand and kneel, several in white dhoti-style garments and others in white salwar or sari; a few wear orange shawls, and one man in white kneels before the seat near flower petals on the floor. Two women in white saris stand at right, one holding a small object.
