A group photograph on a stage with a deep red velvet curtain backdrop. A man in the centre wears an orange turban and orange-red robes and sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests, set on red cushions and a red-draped platform. Around him, about two dozen participants stand and kneel in orange turbans and white or red shawls, many holding framed certificates. Some are in white kurtas, others in pink and white saris and salwar kameez. A small red mat lies on the stage floor in front of the platform. The person on the throne has long hair, a crown-like orange turban and distinctive adornments, matching the page's reference to a person, but the appearance cues are not sufficient for a firm identification.
