A seated figure in a rust-orange turban and rust-orange robe with a brown rudraksha mala is being garlanded during a darshan at a golden throne backed by an ornate gilded peetha. Hands from several people, including a man in white kurta on the left and a man in glasses on the right, place marigold and white-flower garlands on him. A woman in red with a red bindi watches from the left edge. The setting is a ceremonial stage with carved golden side panels, and a small logo appears in the upper left. Whether the seated figure is the a person is uncertain from appearance alone.
