Photograph at night of a seated man in an orange-saffron robe and ornate gold-bead necklaces, with long swept-back dark hair and a white tilak on his forehead, smiling on a cream upholstered throne beside a gilded lion-headed armrest. Before him, an elderly woman in a white sari with red border kneels with palms pressed together, while a younger man in white kneels at his feet. Several saffron-robed attendants with white forehead markings and rudraksha malas stand behind, with a crowd of people in white garments in the background. The throne is decorated with garlands of marigolds, roses and purple flowers, and a video camera on a tripod is visible. Lights glow in the background.
