A photograph of a ceremonial scene in an ornate room with dark red walls. A seated central figure on a gilded golden throne holds an orange fruit and wears an orange-red turban, layered rudraksha and beaded necklaces, bangles and a red-and-gold shawl over a saffron robe; a silver trident stands beside the throne. Around him, several shaven-headed attendants in saffron and maroon robes with rudraksha malas and white forehead markings stand and hold a tray of oranges and fruit. A kneeling man in a white shirt with a white head cloth bows with his palms together before the throne, and onlookers in casual clothes watch from the left. A cameraman films in the background. Whether the seated figure is a person is uncertain from appearance alone, so no identification is made.
