A photograph of a decorated stage at an evening event, with strings of multicolored fairy lights and draped red-purple curtains behind. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate silver and gold throne with a tiered canopy and a silver-and-embroidered arch, garlanded with red, white and yellow flower garlands, holding a long staff. Four people sit on the floor before him in prayer: an older bald man in white dhoti with hands folded, a woman in orange clothes seen from behind, a woman in a white sari with orange border, and a woman in a yellow-and-green sari with hands together. Brass vessels sit at lower right. The seated figure is an appearance-based a person: long swept hair, ornate ceremonial gold necklace and saffron clothing, seated in a throne-like setting.
