A photograph in a decorated hall with a golden throne backed by a gilded deity murti with multiple arms and a crown. A bearded man in a brown-orange robe with a pink garland sits on the golden peetha flanked by golden lion figures; a trident hangs on the left and autumn-orange artificial trees frame the scene. A man in a white shirt kneels and embraces him, while a sari-clad woman in dark attire and another woman in white stand at right and an older man in white watches from the left. The seated man's features are not clearly enough visible to confirm whether he is the a person candidate, so the identity remains unsure.
