A photograph of a gilded, flower-decorated throne set on an orange platform in shallow water at a stepped stone ghat. A man in an orange-saffron robe with a red-and-white flower garland and a red rudraksha-style mala sits on the red cushioned seat, hands raised in blessing. Two attendants in orange-red robes stand beside the throne, one leaning in to hold the platform and the other holding a long staff and a trident-like staff near a multicoloured umbrella. Behind them, white-clad figures stand on the steps and a large crowd of devotees in white and orange wades in the water, many with raised hands and brass vessels. Garlands of marigolds and leaves frame the throne.
