Photo of a ceremonial moment on a stage with a maroon curtain. An elderly man with a shaved head, a red bindi and a gold crown is garlanded with pink and white flower garlands and wears an orange-gold shawl; he holds a silver-gold staff topped with a bird figure, extended toward a younger man at right. That younger man wears a gold crown with a fan-like back, a pink and white garland, rudraksha beads and an orange cloth, and grips the staff's lower end. Behind them stand men in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas and a man in white dhoti with a bare chest and beaded necklace, all smiling or looking on.
