Stage photograph of a ceremony with an elderly bearded man in orange-saffron robes and dark-rimmed glasses seated on an ornate silver throne with lion-head armrests. Two younger men sit on the floor before him: the man on the left wears a white dhoti with gold border, a red shawl, rudraksha malas and white ash markings on his arms, and gestures with his hand; the man on the right, in a white dhoti and red shawl with rudraksha beads, holds and reads a sheet of paper. Water bottles sit on the floor and a dark backdrop with a partly visible image stands behind. The orange-robed elder's presentation is saffron clothing with a white beard, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm an identity.
