Photo of a seated figure on a gold-and-cream throne before a large floral backdrop of marigolds and roses in red, yellow, purple and white. The central man wears a brown-saffron cloth draped over the body, layered rudraksha malas, a white flower garland, gold bangles and a gold pendant, and holds a sheet of paper he is reading. A shaved-headed attendant in saffron with a white forehead mark sits to the left holding a bell-like ritual object. Women devotees in the foreground, one with hair pinned and gold earrings, watch the seated figure. Gold ritual vessels and a flowered pillar frame the scene.
