A photograph of a seated man in a red-brown robe on an ornate gold-carved red throne, wearing a long white and red flower garland and a heavy gold bead necklace with a large gold pendant. A white band is drawn across his forehead with a red mark at the centre. Beside him, a man in a white head wrap and white cloth bends forward, with one of the seated man's hands resting on his head in a blessing gesture. A gold-carved pedestal and a golden ceremonial staff are visible at the edges. The seated man shows the appearance of a person, with a long swept-back hairstyle, ornate gold ornaments, and an elaborate throne, and his role is that of the seated figure receiving the devotee's honour. The scene reads as a seated darshan or blessing.
