A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests and a golden back panel. He wears a sleeveless light blue garment with a blue shawl draped over one shoulder, several tiers of rudraksha beads and a pearl necklace, and a red tilak on his forehead; his hands are clasped in his lap. In the foreground, two people seen from behind sit before a golden pedestal holding flowers and incense sticks: a shaved-headed man in white garments with a sacred thread, and a woman in a light sari. The scene suggests a padapuja ceremony in a gilded hall.
