A photo of a devotional scene on a stage before a golden ornate throne backed by a gilded floral arch and a green-yellow patterned hanging with marigold garlands. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a red cushion on the throne. Several devotees in white ritual clothing, including a man in white kurta and dhoti bending forward with hands together, a woman in a white lace-patterned top, and a woman in a white sari with a striped border, stand around. Their attention is focused on the seated figure; one man holds his clasped hands near the seated person's feet. A red carpet covers the floor and a white-draped table with flowers stands at right. The seated person's appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so the figure is described by role only.
