A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes on an ornate gold throne, with a red and white flower garland draped along the low gold footstool in front. The seated person wears a rudraksha mala and gold necklaces, and an orange shawl falls over the lap. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with a yellow cloth in his hand, kneels beside the footstool and bends forward to wash or attend the seated person's bare feet. Zebra-striped fabric is visible behind the throne, with a golden kalasha-like finial at the top left. The scene suggests a padapuja ritual before a seated spiritual teacher.
