A photo of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, draped in white and orange flower garlands, wearing orange robes and a rudraksha-style necklace, smiling as a woman in an orange-and-red sari with a long braid stands at left with hands folded. In front, a woman in white and orange kneels with her head bowed among flower petals, while a man in orange robes with a shawl and gold wristwatch stands at right. Looks like a devotional honouring ceremony at an ashram setting.
