Photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver throne with carved armrests and a red cushioned seat, wearing a maroon turban with gold ornaments, a deep red-pink garland of beads with pale green and pink accents, gold necklaces and a brown robe. He holds a green leaf or ceremonial item in clasped hands and sits on a silver footstool with a red cushion, a pink garland at his feet. Behind him stands a young man in an orange-red shawl, rudraksha mala and a dark patterned waist cloth, hands clasped. A crowd of devotees, including women in saris, stands behind them in a hazy, smoky hall with a striped mat on the floor.
