A photograph of a stage with a man in white ritual dress standing at left, smiling and raising one hand in greeting. He wears white dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a rudraksha mala, and red sandalwood marks on his forehead and arms. Beside him is a large golden throne-like peetha with an arched back, decorated with a garland of red, green, purple and yellow flowers. Seated on it is a white-clad murti, not a living person, adorned with silver ornaments and a floral garland. A black stand holds a small display in the foreground. The floor is glossy and reflective. The lower right carries a faint copyright overlay.
