A photo of a seated man in a golden ornate throne with red cushions, wearing rust-orange robes, white flower garlands, rudraksha malas, gold necklaces and a gold armlet, with white tripundra marks on his forehead, raising his right hand to touch the forehead of a young boy kneeling before him. The boy is bare-chested with white markings on his body and a white sacred thread. Beside them an orange-robed attendant with rudraksha malas kneels with hands clasped. A golden staff and a silver trident stand behind the throne against a stage backdrop with lights and foliage. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and a beard, and the appearance-based label is a person, seated as the initiating presence on the throne.
