A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with a carved, arched back, wearing a maroon robe and a brown shawl draped over his lap, with a red tilak on his forehead, a rudraksha mala and a gold-toned garland around his neck. He holds a small stick in one hand over a large silver bowl filled with yellow flowers or offerings, while smiling. To the right, a woman in a white sari with a red-and-pink border stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them is a bamboo-screen backdrop, a tall silver lamp stand, and a silver vessel on a small wooden table. Several people are partly visible at the edges. The scene suggests a puja or ritual offering.
