A photograph of a devotional gathering on a raised stage in front of an ornate golden throne decorated with red and white garlands and striped drapery. A seated figure in orange robes with a long-haired, swept-back style sits centrally on the throne, with an orange garland and beaded necklace. Around the throne, a crowd of devotees line up: men in white shirts and orange shoulder cloths, women in white and gold-bordered saris, and several young girls in pink, blue and orange dresses. A woman in a white sari bends forward to offer something at the throne. A television camera stands at the right edge of the stage.
