A photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver-and-red throne in a temple hall, wearing a rust-orange robe, a gold necklace with a large pendant and a rudraksha-style gold mala, with long dark hair falling past his shoulders. Around him, many people in orange and white clothes sit closely on the floor, several with painted forehead marks and some with rudraksha beads. Silver ceremonial staffs with a trident and a finial flank the throne, and small silver lion figures sit at its base. Behind, a golden shrine with a deity murti and red drapes forms the backdrop, with a camera tripod visible near the throne.
