A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-brown throne with carved golden lion arms, wearing a rust-orange turban, orange-saffron garments with gold trim, and layered beaded rudraksha-style malas with a gold pendant. A devotee in a white blouse with hair in a long braid bends forward and offers a folded white cloth or item into the seated figure's hand. Behind them, a shaved-headed attendant in orange and dark prayer beads holds a brass vessel, and other men in white dhotis and white headbands stand in the room. Plain cream walls and a gold-topped staff are visible at right. The seated figure's appearance matches the page's reference to a person, with the turban, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas as cues.
