A photograph of a seated man on a gold-and-red throne with carved gold backrest, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a long rudraksha mala with gold ornaments, a bindi-style mark on the forehead, and dark swept-back hair. He sits with eyes closed and hands resting on his lap. Facing him, a man in a white shirt with a red shawl kneels by a white counter holding a steel bowl of cooked food and bowls of prepared dishes. Behind them, several people in white dhotis with red shawls stand, and a red sofa and basket sit at the right. In the foreground are a basket of green leaves and a bowl of conch-like shells. Steel vessels, pots, and bottled condiments are scattered on the counter, consistent with food preparation for an offering.
