A photograph of a ceremonial scene on a red carpet before a gilded golden throne with lion-shaped armrests and red velvet cushions. A man in a rust-orange turban, orange dhoti and shawl, wearing a multicoloured flower garland and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, stands beside the throne with his right hand extended. A man in a striped white shirt and grey trousers kneels and bows with his forehead touching the carpet. Behind them, two shaved-headed attendants in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas hold trays of offerings. A large golden deity murti stands in the background against a painted backdrop, with golden lamp stands at the sides. The orange-robed standing figure matches the page's a person reference only partly, with turban, garland and beads, so identity is uncertain.
