A photograph of a crowd of children and young people gathered around a central figure standing before an ornate golden throne (peetha) with a deep red velvet back, framed by a garland of yellow, red and green flowers and white jasmine strands, with a hanging brass lamp above. The central figure wears an orange-saffron robe, a long rudraksha mala and has long swept-back dark hair; the appearance is a probable match for a person, shown standing in front of the throne. Around him, boys in white kurtas and girls in red, maroon and pink traditional dress press forward, some with hands folded or reaching out. A woman in a red sari and another in an orange sari stand at the right edge, and a figure in an orange turban is near the back. A blue wall and a printed banner with a gold balloon sit behind the scene.
