A photograph of a ceremony on a stage. In the centre, an older bearded man with long white hair and glasses sits on an ornate silver throne with lion-head armrests, wearing an orange-saffron robe and shawl with rudraksha beads. Two young men in white dhotis with gold borders and red shawls sit cross-legged on the floor in front of him, one arranging small items on a cloth while the other works beside plastic water bottles. A bare-chested man in orange sits on a second throne at the upper right. White sacred ash marks decorate their arms and chests, and rudraksha malas hang from their necks and wrists.
