A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with carved lion-like arms, draped in marigold garlands and a white conical headpiece, with a silver trident standing beside the throne. The seated figure wears a dark red-brown garment and gold bangles and is accepting an offering from a woman in a bright red-and-yellow sari who holds a white plastic bag. Beside her, a woman in a teal skirt and red-brown shawl holds a small object. Behind them a large crowd of devotees, some wearing orange lanyards and saffron scarves, fills the hall, and a man with white hair in a light shirt stands at the upper left. A tray with red and white items sits at the lower right.
