Photograph of an evening stage event decorated with orange and maroon drapes, floral garlands along an arch, and petals falling through the air. A woman in a white and gold-bordered sari with a green flower garland stands centre stage, arms raised and smiling, with a red throne-like seat behind her. Around her, several people in white ritual clothing and saffron-orange shawls stand or kneel; one man in a saffron wrap stands at right, and another in white stands near the throne. Men in white shirts at left raise their hands and clap, and spectators are visible in the lower left foreground. A large floor of scattered flower petals covers the stage.
