A photograph of a ceremony on a floral-garlanded red throne decorated with white and yellow jasmine-type flower strands. A man seated on the throne wears a gold-embroidered cream silk tunic and a golden turban, with a gold necklace, a small red tilak on his forehead, and long dark hair; he holds a small white cloth and a small coloured object. A woman in a white sari with long curly hair and a rudraksha mala stands before him with palms pressed together in greeting. Beside them an older woman in a white sari with a red bindi and rudraksha beads smiles. A golden lion figure sits at the base of the throne, and a backdrop of a snowy landscape is behind them.
