Group photograph on a stage with a large gold-and-red throne under a golden canopy at the centre, flanked by blue-and-gold painted deity murtis of Shiva at left and right edges. A seated figure on the throne wears a red headpiece and a red-and-gold garment, with hands raised in a blessing gesture; a person candidate by appearance, recognised by a red headpiece and ornate ceremonial clothing with a rudraksha-style necklace, though this is uncertain. Around the throne, about two dozen people in white, red, orange and saffron clothing wear orange lanyards and red shawls, some in saris and purple or green dresses. A girl in a green dress sits near the throne. Blue shuttered windows and gold-patterned walls form the backdrop.
