A photograph of a ceremonial scene inside a dimly lit hall. In the left foreground, a person in a white dhoti and white turban holds a long gold-tipped staff while stepping beside a gold-framed throne draped with yellow and red marigold garlands. Above the throne hangs a red, blue and yellow tasselled canopy. On the right, a bald man in a white shirt wears a red and green shawl over his shoulder and watches the scene. Small lamps glow on wall niches decorated with white flower garlands, and a ceremonial vessel stands at the right edge.
