A photograph of a ceremony on a raised golden platform before a large heart-shaped throne backdrop with green, blue and red jewelled borders and gold beads. A bearded man in an orange-brown robe with a garland of white flowers and a gold necklace sits on the throne with his arms extended, smiling. A young man in white dhoti and bare upper body kneels at the left, holding a folded white cloth or offering toward him. A grey-haired man in white kurta and red cloth kneels at the front centre. Behind, a painted deity figure holds a staff in each hand under gold foliage, and a gold oil lamp stands at the right beside two seated women in saffron and maroon saris. Red curtains frame the stage. The pictured seated figure in orange with the long swept hair and gold necklace matches the appearance cues for a person, though the page indicates he is not at this event, so this is an appearance-based candidate only. Four or so people are visible, including partial figures at the edges.
