A photograph of an empty ornate golden throne (peetha) on a decorated stage, with no person seated on it. The throne has a gold-framed cushioned seat with a maroon square pillow, flanked by two golden lion figures, and is topped by a golden canopy draped with white and yellow garlands. Its backdrop is a mustard-yellow wall framed by silver-and-maroon arches with a blue patterned panel. Silver lamp stands (oil lamps) stand on either side, a red cloth covers the dais edge, and marigold and jasmine garlands hang along the platform. Offerings sit at the base, including a red-and-orange garlanded vessel and a kalasha-like pot. A pedestal fan is visible at the left edge. No physical person is present.
