A photograph of a seated robed figure on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions, gesturing with raised open palms toward a small crowd of devotees in the foreground. The central figure wears a saffron-orange turban and saffron robes with a multi-coloured flower garland of orange and white blooms. Two men in the foreground, one wearing glasses and one in a white-and-black striped shirt, sit close in front, with heads and shoulders visible. At left, a bare-chested man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala stands beside a golden lion-faced pedestal holding fruit offerings. A red-and-gold setting with carved golden panels frames the scene.
