A photograph of a seated man in an orange saffron robe with a long orange shawl and a garland of flowers, sitting on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-like finials and garlands of marigolds and purple flowers. He wears a rudraksha-style necklace and his long dark hair is swept back, with a small crown visible above him; cues are suggestive but not conclusive for a person. Seated before him on the floor are devotees in white and cream traditional clothes, several with palms pressed together in namaskar, and a row of brass plates with fruit and flowers in front. A woman in a white sari stands at the left edge near a second empty gold throne draped in garlands, with a gold trident-like staff behind the throne. Dark blue curtains and a pale wall form the stage backdrop.
