A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne decorated with a rainbow-coloured floral backdrop of garlands in red, yellow, white and purple. The figure wears a red turban, red robes and a long gold beaded necklace, with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. Garlands of white and yellow flowers drape the throne's lower front. Brass oil lamps with lit flames stand on both sides, and a brass trident rests to the right. The painted backdrop shows blue and gold rocky mountain forms, evoking Kailash. The setting suggests a satsang or celebration held before a mountain-themed stage.
