A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet seat and a gold canopy with hanging leaf ornaments. He wears an orange saffron shawl over his shoulders, a rudraksha mala necklace, and a red-and-white vertical mark on his forehead, with hands resting in his lap. A matching orange-draped figure is a presiding Swamiji (probable) on the peetha: the long hair, ornate saffron clothing and rudraksha mala are visible cues. Golden oil lamps with lit flames and orange and red flower arrangements flank the throne. In front, a golden base holds flower offerings and pink lotus blooms, with incense sticks and a silver plate of offerings. Around the platform, several women in white saris with yellow shawls and a shaven-headed man in white ritual dress sit facing the throne, seen from behind. A backdrop depicts a temple gopuram-style archway with deity imagery.
