A photograph of a seated man on a gold-and-red ornate throne decorated with white and orange flower garlands and a flower-covered canopy, set before a dark blue curtain. The seated man wears a cream turban with a red mark on the forehead, a long red kurta with gold trim, and a cream and gold dhoti, with bare feet. Two devotees in white kneel on a white-draped platform, each with palms raised toward him in a blessing gesture. A man in saffron robes and a gold-beaded necklace stands at left with hands joined. A woman in white with an orange shawl stands at right holding a rudraksha mala and a folded paper. The seated man's appearance is not clearly identifiable from the image, so no specific identity is assigned. Scattered flower petals lie on the white platform.
