Outdoor ceremony under a pink-draped tent with a red carpet.

Before him a young man in white kneels with palms pressed together. Women in white saris with gold borders stand with hands folded; a man in white kurta stands behind, and a man in orange shawl stands at the rear. A brass vessel sits near the throne. The man on the throne has distinctive long swept-back hair, gold ornaments and a gold-bordered wrap, which is a person appearance cue; the throne and ceremony are visible but identity is appearance-based.2009-01-01January 01 20092009-01-01January 01 20122012-01-01A photograph of an outdoor tented event with pink-white canopy and red drapes.
