A group of devotees and visitors gathers close together for a selfie beside a central figure seated in front of an ornate gilded golden backdrop. The central figure wears a red-orange turban, an orange-saffron shawl and a garland of white, red and blue flowers, and gives a hand gesture. A man in a checked green-and-blue shirt and jeans holds a selfie stick with a phone, while a woman in a green-and-orange sari smiles beside him. Other people include a woman in a maroon-and-gold sari with a maroon bag, a man in a pink shirt, and a figure in white dhoti with gold shoulder ornaments at left. Ornate gold-patterned thrones and a red-draped stage frame the scene.
