A photograph of a ceremonial reception on a stage with a large golden throne backed by pink lotus petals and a golden crescent. A seated figure in a rust-red robe and matching red turban sits on the throne, wearing a white and orange flower garland, with bare feet resting on a pink flower offering. Standing to the left, several people in saffron-orange shawls and white dhotis bow or stand, one bending low with hands together; one holds a bunch of marigold garlands. On the right, a bare-chested attendant in a rust cloth holds a ceremonial trident and a brass tray. Dark blue draped tent fabric forms the backdrop. A possible identity cue for the seated figure is the red turban and ceremonial garlands, but the face is not clearly visible enough to confirm the candidate.
