A photograph of a figure in an orange-saffron robe seated cross-legged on a golden throne (peetha) inside a floral arch decorated with yellow and white marigold garlands, red and purple flowers, and a painted white bird motif, set on a platform floating on dark water at night. Floodlights light the arch, and a potted plant wall stands behind it. Two people partly submerged in the water flank the platform, and their heads and shoulders are visible. The figure holds one hand near the face. Reflections of the garlands and lights ripple across the water. The page indicates the event is a teppotsava (floating festival); the figure's appearance is consistent with the a person candidate, with saffron robe and seated throne as cues, but the face is not clearly distinct enough to confirm.
