A photograph of a street procession with a seated figure on an ornate gold throne carried on a palanquin-style platform. The central seated man wears a red-orange turban, orange-saffron robes and a long mala of beads with a gold pendant, and his hands rest together in his lap. Two attendants flank the throne holding decorated red, gold and blue ceremonial umbrellas, and a bare-chested attendant with a shaved head wears a white dhoti with gold-bordered cloth and a gold chain. Gold lion heads decorate the throne arms, and a crowd of saffron-clad people and drum players fills the street behind.

He wears layered beaded necklaces and a gold ceremonial pendant, with bangles on his wrists, and rests his hands on his lap. A red and yellow parasol with tasselled fringe, bearing the words Dhyana Peetham, is held above him. Attendants in white and saffron stand around the throne, one holding a long staff, and a leopard-print cushion covers the seat.
