Photograph of a coronation-style ceremony on a stage with gold and maroon draperies and a gilded lion-armrest throne in the foreground. A seated man with long dark swept-back hair, a red bindi, orange robes, rudraksha mala, bangles and flower garlands of white and red smiles while an elderly priest in a gold crown, red-and-gold shawl and bare upper body places garlands and touches him. A third person in orange robes and a rudraksha mala holds a silver tray with a kalasha-like vessel and a gold ceremonial fan. Another figure stands behind in the background. Setting suggests a formal investiture of a religious head.
