Photograph of a ceremonial event with a seated figure on an ornate golden throne (peetha) under a large gold-and-white backdrop garlanded with red and white flowers. The central seated figure wears orange-saffron robes, a red tilak on the forehead, long dark hair and multiple beaded necklaces with a garland. Devotees in white dhotis and white shirts stand close, one bending forward to offer something to the seated figure, while others in white and orange garments and a woman in a mustard-yellow blouse and white sari look on. Flower offerings in red and white lie on the throne base. Appearance-based candidate for a person: the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and ornate ceremonial necklaces seated on a golden throne, consistent with the event page; the seated figure is presented as the honoured guru in a satsang setting.
