A photograph of a coronation ceremony on a stage. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a long garland of red and white flowers sits on an ornate gold throne with a golden arched backrest. A man in white traditional clothes stands behind him, pouring or applying a liquid to the seated figure's head from a small vessel. Gold decorations and a banner with Tamil script frame the stage. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a robed, garlanded presentation, but this is unverified, so the identity is left uncertain.
