A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne in a red-curtained hall, wearing a rust-orange turban, long rudraksha and gold bead malas, bangles and an orange-and-gold dress, smiling and resting a hand on a cushion. Seated beside him is a bald man with a yellow tilak, glasses and a rudraksha mala over orange-red robes, hands folded. A kneeling man with long hair in a bun and an orange shawl presses his palms together before the throne. Standing behind are people in white and cream dhotis with rudraksha malas and a woman in a blue kurta and red leggings. Behind the throne stands a brass oil lamp and a gilded deity murti.

Behind them, women in saffron, red and teal garments and a seated figure in red stand around, with a silver trident-shaped staff on the left and brass lamps in the background. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and ornate gold adornments, so the appearance is a person seated on the throne, bestowing a blessing on a devotee during a darshan-style interaction.
