A photograph of a standing man in a white cream turban, white long kurta and white dhoti with a multicolour flower garland, bending forward over a small white-draped table holding a silver lamp-like object on a red-carpeted stage. In front, a second person in white clothing kneels or prostrates on the red carpet. Behind is an ornate gold throne with red velvet upholstery and a gold umbrella with garlands, against a yellow rangoli-style wall decorated with orange and green patterns. A brass vessel with marigold and white flower garlands sits in the foreground. The setting suggests a ceremonial darshan or puja at an outdoor pandal.

He wears a white turban with a red tilak on the forehead, a white kurta, a white dhoti with a gold border, and garlands of orange and white flowers draped over his shoulders and across the throne. The gold throne features a carved lion-head armrest and a gilded backrest with a deity relief.
