A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a rudraksha-style necklace, hands pressed in namaste, on a gold and red ornate throne before a painted temple-style backdrop with carved pillars, rearing horse-headed motifs and a painted elephant. A dark-clad person in the foreground holds a lit oil lamp, and two people in white clothes sit on either side of the stage with hands joined. Red and pink flower arrangements flank the throne, with brass lamps on the stage. The orange-robed figure's appearance is consistent with the a person cues of ornate saffron clothing and a rudraksha necklace, though the page does not mention him at this event.
