A photograph of a ceremony in an outdoor courtyard. A man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne holds a silver trident and wears a rust-orange robe, rudraksha mala beads and a gold pendant, with a tilak on his forehead. A devotee in a white dhoti lies prostrate at his feet, touching a yellow-cloth tray holding green leaves, while another devotee in orange holds a folded orange cloth. Women in white saris with rudraksha malas stand at right holding papers, and a woman in red sits at left. Rows of small lamps line a red tiered wall behind. The man on the throne matches the page's a person reference through his orange robes, rudraksha beads, trident and throne, so this is an appearance-based probable identification.
