A photograph of a ceremonial scene on a stage before a painted green backdrop of tall bamboo. A central seated figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and a red shawl, sits on an ornate gold throne with a gold canopy umbrella and a garland of yellow, red and purple flowers. Two men in white dhotis and shirts kneel before the throne, one with hands on the seated figure's knee and the other bowing with his head down. On the left, a bearded man in an orange robe and wristwatch stands with hands clasped. On the right, a woman in a white sari with an orange shawl holds a paper and stands beside a man in white clothes with hands folded. White lilies and other flowers sit on a stand at left. The scene suggests a padapuja-style honouring.
