A photograph of a seated man in white dhoti and shawl on an ornate gold throne with lion-head armrests and a gold canopy umbrella, eyes closed, hands folded. He wears rudraksha malas and a red tilak on his forehead, with long dark hair. Before the throne, several men and women in white ritual clothes sit on the floor; a bare-chested shaven-headed priest holds a ritual object and a woman in white with a gold border holds a small plate. Orange drapes, garlands of marigolds and a painted temple backdrop surround the stage, and a tray with flowers sits at the throne's base.
