A photograph of a ceremonial scene before a gilded throne with ornate golden carved backrest. A smiling man with a white tripundra on his forehead, wearing a pink and white flower garland, a rudraksha mala and a maroon-red shawl, sits on a red cushioned seat with his bare chest and arm exposed, receiving offerings. Two bowls of flowers and fruit sit on silver trays held by a person at the lower left. An older man in white dhoti and shirt with glasses bends forward offering a silver plate with small cups. Behind them a woman in an orange sari with a mala stands near the throne, and a bespectacled man in a white dhoti with a rudraksha mala smiles to the right. The setting suggests a puja or darshan ceremony.
