A golden ceremonial throne stands on a red carpeted dais, flanked by a gold lion sculpture and an ornate gold-framed arch against a gold lattice wall. A person wearing an orange-red turban and a red-and-white garland sits on the throne, and a kneeling man in white clothes bows at its base. Children in colourful dresses and kurtas stand in a row to the right, with a girl in pink, one in a white dress and one in yellow. On the left, two men in white dhotis with gold borders stand, and a woman in white with a gold border sits on the dais, extending her hands. The swami figure on the throne is a probable identification from the turban, garland and throne setting, and the page attributes the event to a person, but the face is not clearly visible enough for confirmation.2015-11-01Devotees approach a gilded throne backed by an ornate golden carved panel with cross-shaped cutouts.
