A photograph of a ritual in a plain room with a red-painted wall and a wall-mounted electric fan. A man seated on an ornate red velvet throne wears a green silk garment, gold necklaces and a white forehead mark, and his long dark hair falls past his shoulders. A younger man standing to the right in an orange dhoti with yellow borders and a gold-beaded necklace bows slightly and offers a silver tray holding yellow flowers. Two seated men in orange robes and rudraksha malas sit in the background, and a red cushion rests on the armrest of the throne. The scene suggests a padapuja-style honouring of the seated figure. The seated figure shows distinctive long hair and ornate gold necklaces, a compatible presentation with visible cues, so he is described as a person on the throne.
