A seated figure in an orange-red turban and saffron-orange garment with an ornate gold-and-bead necklace sits on a cushioned throne with a golden lion-headed armrest, extending a folded white cloth toward a smiling young man in a white dhoti with a red-and-gold shawl and a black rudraksha mala. A microphone stand is at centre. Behind them a standing attendant in white dhoti and red shawl with a black bead mala, brass oil lamps, and gold-clad deity murti on a red-draped altar. The turbaned figure shows distinctive ornate cues, though identity is uncertain from appearance; a person is noted as a person in the ceremony.
