Photograph inside a gilded hall with marble-panelled walls and ornate golden thrones carved with lions and deity figures. A seated man in saffron-orange cloth wrapped over his shoulders, with a rudraksha headband, a small gold earring and a swept-back bun, smiles toward a younger devotee kneeling at left in a white shirt with a yellow-edged cloth and a rudraksha mala, whose palms are pressed together in anjali. The seated man rests his hand on a silver railing and sits beside a golden lion-form throne armrest. Two physical people are visible.

A long-haired figure in orange-saffron robes with a rudraksha mala sits on a golden throne with gold lion-head armrests, reaching out a hand toward a tray with sandals while a man in a white shirt and orange shawl kneels before them.
