A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned seat, set against a red carpet and a carved stone relief of a deity above. The seated person wears a rust-brown sannyasi robe, a matching brown turban, and a long rudraksha-style mala draped over the shoulders. Beside the throne stands a tall brass trident, and a potted green plant and a brass vessel sit nearby. Around the throne, several visitors stand in a line: an older woman in a mustard-yellow sari, a woman in a red top with a patterned shawl, a young girl in a yellow top and patterned leggings, a man in a light shirt with an orange shawl, and on the right an older woman in a purple floral sari, a woman in a purple sari, and a man in a striped shirt with an orange shawl. Several others stand in the background. The seated figure is described as a person based on the saffron-brown robe, turban and mala, with the throne and trident as ceremonial setting.
