A photograph of a seated figure in a red-and-gold turban with white and red feather accents, wearing an orange-brown silk garment, a dense red bead mala and gold necklaces, and gold bangles. The figure, with hands pressed together in a blessing gesture, is touching the forehead of a kneeling man in a white striped shirt. Beside the gold-carved throne, a standing attendant in white dhoti and gold-bordered shawl wears a rudraksha mala. Other men stand behind in plaid and white clothing, hands folded. The floor has a patterned red carpet, and a small wooden box with a red cloth sits nearby.
