A photograph of a ceremonial padapuja-style honouring at an event with a large red-tinted banner portrait behind a seated figure. The banner shows a smiling man with long swept-back grey-streaked hair, framed by garlands of white jasmine and yellow marigolds hanging at both sides. A seated man in a gold embroidered kurta, a yellow-gold turban and a gold necklace sits on a red-cushioned throne-like seat beneath an ornate gold canopy wreathed in white flowers. Before him, a man in a white shirt stands and a woman in a yellow embroidered salwar kneels with hands raised. Two men in white dhotis with orange shawls kneel at the front on a white cloth strewn with flower petals. A man in a red patterned shirt and a woman in an orange sari stand at the right and left edges, with a decorated flower-covered stand visible on the right. Five people are visible in the scene.
