A photograph of a stage at an ashram event with a large golden throne backed by a green floral-decorated panel with silver and red arches. A seated figure in white and gold clothing sits on the throne, wearing a long mala necklace and holding a small object near his face, with a swept-back long dark hairstyle and an ornate crown-like headdress of red and yellow flowers. A bald man in an orange robe stands bending forward at the left, extending an offering on a red-and-gold tray toward the seated figure. Silver oil lamps on stands, a trident hanging on the panel, marigold garlands on the stage edge and flower arrangements in brass pots surround the platform. The seated figure's appearance matches the page's a person claim only partly, so identity is uncertain; the seated person is described by role as a seated teacher on a throne.
