Group photograph on a red carpeted stage in front of a dark maroon curtain. A framed portrait of a smiling figure with a saffron turban and saffron clothing sits on a gold-framed stand on a red throne-like chair; the portrait is a depiction, not a physical person. Eleven people pose in front of it: men and women in white ritual clothes with rudraksha malas and red-orange shawls, several kneeling in the front row. Two women in the front centre wear saffron-orange and red saris, and one woman raises both hands palms-out. A partial orange-and-brown decorative backdrop and potted plants frame the stage.
