A photograph of a ceremonial stage decorated with marigold and rose garlands and a bright yellow floral backdrop. A seated figure with long dark hair wears a white dhoti with a gold border and a gold-bordered white shawl, with a beaded mala around the neck. He holds a small framed photograph up before his face. Beside him, a standing attendant in an orange-saffron robe and orange cloth wrap, with short dark hair and a gold chain, holds a brass tray. The seat is a golden throne with lion figures, flanked by tall silver oil lamps and a silver trident. Below the throne are flower garlands, a golden base with brass lamps, bananas and offerings. Ornate blue and red decorative panels frame the back wall. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, a mala and ceremonial clothing, but the appearance is only partly visible, so identity is uncertain.
