A photograph of a ceremonial gathering in a hall with red carpet, gold-framed seats and colourful umbrellas overhead. In the foreground a woman in a green sari and gold blouse stands beside a young woman in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas. Several other women in orange robes sit on gold-cushioned chairs, and a man in white kurta with a coconut sits among seated guests in the right foreground. In the background an elevated seat under a red umbrella holds a figure in saffron robe and garlands with hands raised in greeting, and a candidate matching the page's appearance cues is visible; appearance is uncertain, so the identity is unconfirmed. A painted deity mural occupies the upper left.
