A photograph of a seated bearded man with a long-haired shaved-headed attendant in the foreground. A seated man in orange-red clothing sits before a gold-ornate throne (peetha) with a red curtain behind it, wearing a thick garland of red roses, white flowers and yellow marigolds, and holding a red-and-yellow fruit in his hand. He smiles broadly. Standing in the left foreground, a bare-backed man in a white dhoti with yellow borders and a yellow shawl faces him, and a man in a striped pastel shirt and jeans holds out a fruit. Another man in white sits near the throne. Visible identity cues are limited, so the seated figure is noted as a devotee-style seated figure on a throne rather than an identified individual.
