A photograph of a stage event with a large ornate gold throne backed by a floral arch of red, pink, orange and white flowers. A seated figure in orange-red robes with a matching shawl sits on the throne with bare feet on a red cushioned footstool, while devotees attend him. A man in white kurta and white dhoti stands at left, and a young man in orange robes holds a tray. Two women in white sarees with coloured borders stand at right, one holding a small tray of offerings. The red-and-gold carpet and sound equipment are visible. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the face is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity from appearance cues alone; he wears orange robes and shawl on the throne.
