A photograph on a stage with a red and pink backdrop decorated with flower garlands and two hanging brass pots. A gold cobra-hooded throne with red cushions stands at left. A long-haired man in a peach sash and cream turban, with a bare upper torso and yellow dhoti, leans forward on the throne area to clasp hands with a man in a red silk kurta, dark shawl and white dhoti, who holds a white envelope. A third man in a purple shirt and white dhoti stands at the right edge. The long-haired man has distinctive long hair and ornate ceremonial dress, so the appearance-based candidate is a person, receiving a greeting from a devotee. Three physical people are visible.
