Photo of a ceremonial gathering in a decorated hall with red pillars, white drapes and hanging orange and multicolour tassel banners. A man with long swept-back dark hair, a saffron-orange shawl and a bead necklace sits on an ornate gold-and-brown throne holding a golden trident-topped staff, and receives a small offering tray from an older man in a patterned cream and orange kurta with glasses. Beside him stands a young woman in a purple-and-blue sari. Seated devotees in white and orange fill the floor, a standing fan is at left, and a large screen shows a crowd. The seated man is a person matching the presentation cues of long swept hair, saffron shawl and bead necklace, presiding in his throne role.
