A photograph of a ceremonial honouring at a gold throne decorated with flower garlands and striped fabric. A figure seated on the gold throne wears a saffron robe, a long flower garland, and a red cushion sits beside him. A man in an orange robe with a red shawl and a beaded necklace stands at the right, and a woman in white with a saffron shawl holds a brass plate. A person in an orange robe bends forward at left, pouring or offering near the throne, which is surrounded by scattered petals. A possible a person appearance cue is the seated figure's long swept-back hair, saffron robe and garland, so the seated figure is a probable candidate in an in-person ceremonial setting. Five people are visible.
