Photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red-cushioned seat and a gold arched back, smiling. He wears a cream turban with a gold ornament, a red bindi, a lime-green and red silk garment, multiple rudraksha malas and beaded bracelets, with hands folded in his lap. In front, a man with a shaved head in an orange robe with maroon border stands with his back partly to the camera, raising a lit lamp or aarti flame toward the seated figure. A tall brass lamp with a bird-shaped top stands at left with a lit wick, and small oil lamps glow at the right edge. Purple flowers lie at the base of the throne. Two physical people are visible.
