A photograph of a ceremonial stage hung with multicoloured tassels and a gold ornate throne on the left. A man in a brown-gold draped garment and a red-and-pink flower garland stands at the left, leaning forward to hand a white paper or certificate to an older man in a peach-coloured kurta and glasses. A woman in a green sari with a gold border stands beside them with her hands folded in namaste, and a small child is partly visible at the far right edge. The man in brown-gold, a candidate for a person by appearance, has short-cropped dark hair and no distinctive long hair, crown or saffron cues, so the identity is uncertain; he is described by role as a presenter handing over a document.
