A photograph of a ritual scene on a raised platform before an ornate golden throne carved as a cobra hood with a red cushion, decorated with yellow and purple flower garlands and a golden tree-branch backdrop. A woman in a saffron-orange dress with gold trim sits on the throne, her long dark hair loose, while a bald man in a black jacket and white dhoti kneels before her with his hands together and she touches his shoulder. Behind them a young boy in orange kneels, and a man in a white kurta with a pendant stands to the left with a dhoti-clad elder beside him. A flower arrangement and a bunch of green bananas sit near the platform. Three people are visible in the foreground area, with a further partial figure at the right edge.

A seated figure in orange robes sits on a golden cobra-hooded throne with a gold serpent canopy, raising one hand in blessing while an elderly man in white kurta and dark trousers bends forward toward them, supported by younger men in white and orange. Garlands of yellow, pink and purple flowers hang on the throne and a vase of colourful blooms stands nearby. A devotee in orange kneels at the side, and a white-draped platform lies in the foreground beneath a golden tree-like backdrop.
