A photograph of five people seated on a stage in prayer pose with palms pressed together. In the foreground, a woman in white with a rudraksha mala and a man in a white dhoti with a yellow border sit on colourful striped mats. Behind them, two people in orange robes sit with hands folded. A large golden elephant statue stands at left beside an ornate golden throne. At right, a golden throne with a cobra-hood canopy holds a printed portrait of a bearded man in orange garments with rudraksha malas, gold necklaces and an orange turban, and a trident stands beside it. Red draped curtains and a tree trunk form the backdrop. The scene suggests a darshan-style ceremony with devotees in prayer.
