A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne wearing a red shawl with embroidered floral motifs, a hand extended over a silver plate held by a shaved-headed priest in orange robes with white tripundra marks on his forehead and arms, wearing gold-beaded ceremonial necklaces. The seated figure has long dark hair and a red garment. Behind them, a few people in orange and white stand or kneel near draped tables and framed pictures on a pale wall. The plate holds a yellowish offering. Visible people: the priest, the seated figure, and about three others in the background, one kneeling in white. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and red attire on a throne, and a person candidate in a ritual setting; the priest's appearance does not qualify.
