A photograph of a stage ritual with a seated figure on a decorated throne-like seat beneath a floral canopy strung with white flowers. The seated figure wears a crown, a red-pink garment and a heavy gold and beaded necklace, and smiles while people around them attend. A woman in a pink and white sari kneels before the seat, a man in a rust-brown shirt and white dhoti stands nearby, a man in white dhoti and shawl stands at right holding an offering, and another figure kneels at lower left. A standing attendant in a red garment and black turban stands at far left beside a brass trident and lamp stand. Carved pillars with lion motifs, brass lamps and a golden deity murti backdrop complete the scene, bathed in red light.
