A seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with red zebra-striped cushions is draped in a long white and yellow-and-purple garland and wears orange saffron robes with bare shoulders and long swept-back dark hair. A man in a white short-sleeved shirt and grey trousers, with a wristwatch, leans in to place his hand on the seated figure's shoulder and drape the garland. Beside them a woman in glasses and orange sari stands behind, a woman in a white sari with a gold border clasps her hands in greeting, and a man in an orange robe stands at the back near a wall with a fan and a red-and-white sign. Several smaller people are partly visible at the right edge. Overlay text reads and a copyright notice

An elderly man in white shirt and white dhoti bends forward to touch the seated figure's arm. A woman in an orange robe with a maroon border bows her head, while an older woman in a white sari with a dark patterned border and a younger woman in a white sari with gold borders place their hands on the seated figure in reverence.

Other people stand nearby in white clothes, and a woman in a light sari watches. A tray with offerings, flowers and small items sits on a white cloth. Cream walls frame the room.

A person with long dark hair wears a red-orange sari and sits with an arm extended, resting a hand on the shoulder of an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti who bows forward with palms pressed together. A woman in a white garment stands at the left, a man in white dhoti and orange shawl at the far left, and a woman in a patterned beige sari at the right. Trays of fruit and flowers sit on a white-draped table below, with hanging floral decorations on the backdrop.

Several people in white traditional clothing stand around, one bowing deeply and another on the right in white with a dark braid. The seated figure has long dark hair and a red bindi, and appears to be receiving honour in a ceremonial setting. Identity is uncertain from appearance; the page names a person at this event, and the figure shows some compatible cues (orange robe, garland, throne), but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm.2009-07-16
