A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with brown leather upholstery and gold lion-head armrests, wearing a long yellow-orange marigold garland and a dark hair style, holding a bunch of flowers and smiling while another devotee in white and orange kneels before them with head bowed. A standing man in white dhoti and orange shawl and another man in saffron robe with rudraksha mala are nearby, with seated audience members and a trident-topped staff in the foreground. The setting appears to be a large hall with patterned carpet and a screen behind.
