Photograph inside a temple hall of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and a ceremonial garland of purple orchids and green leaves, seated on an ornate gilded throne with a red cushion behind him. He has a red-and-white tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha mala around his neck, and extends his hands toward a man in a white kurta with a tricolour-striped sash who offers him a small white object. A golden lion figure stands beside the throne. Gold carved panels and an orange-red mat frame the scene.

Photograph of a man in a rust-orange robe with a purple flower garland and white-and-orange beaded garlands seated on a red-cushioned golden throne with carved gilt backrest, smiling and extending his hand toward a man in white with an orange shawl who leans in holding a small red booklet. Behind them a gold-and-brass figure of a lion stands beside a striped tiger-skin cover. Several other people in white garments crowd the frame, one with glasses, and a camera on a tripod is visible at top left.
