A photograph of a stage event with a large gold ornate throne decorated with garlands of red, pink and purple flowers. A long-haired figure in a red-orange robe sits on the throne smiling, with a hand extended outward. A man in a light blue kurta and cream trousers bends forward at the waist, holding a small white card, while a shaved-headed monk in orange kneels in front of the throne. A younger attendant in orange robes stands at left, and a woman in a white sari stands at right holding a small paper. The backdrop is blue and sandy-brown. The seated figure has long hair and a red-orange robe, with appearance cues that are consistent with the page's a person reference, though the identity is uncertain.
