A photograph of a seated man on an ornate brown leather throne at the front of a hall, wearing a red-orange robe, a long rudraksha mala with large beads, a gold pendant, and a red tilak on his forehead, with his long dark hair swept up. He gestures with one open hand toward a large audience seated on the floor in front, many in orange, red and white clothing, some wearing orange or red shawls. A ceremonial staff stands at the left edge, and orange drapes and framed deity images hang on the back wall. Approximately 20-30 people are visible in the crowd, though only partially in view.
