A photograph of a ceremony on a stage with a red-draped backdrop. A seated figure in a golden throne with lion armrests wears a red-and-gold turban, pink flower garland, and red-and-white dhoti, holding a long ceremonial staff topped with a silver finial. Behind him stands a large black deity murti with a hooded serpent canopy and gold necklace, decorated with flower garlands. A golden umbrella rises above the throne. To the right, a woman in a lavender sari with red border and a man in a light blue shirt and cream trousers wear garlands and stand with joined palms, while a girl in a cream kurta with red churidar stands near the throne. A woman in a maroon top kneels on the colourful striped mat in front of the throne, bowing. A white pedestal fan stands between them. Two women in saris stand at the far right edge.
