A photograph of a devotional reception in a temple hall. A man in a red-and-maroon dhoti and turban, wearing a large red and yellow marigold garland and gold bangles, sits on an ornate gold-and-red cushioned throne with a golden lion armrest. Several devotees stand and bend forward; one man in a white shirt and white dhoti leans down to touch the feet of the seated figure. A woman in a green kurta with orange shawl and a man in a striped shirt stand nearby with folded hands, and a priest in an orange-brown dhoti stands at left. Gold pillars with pink lotus capitals frame the background. Only the seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's named teacher, so the identity remains uncertain.
