A photograph of a ceremonial padapuja-style honouring inside a dim room with a dark backdrop and hanging brass bells and oil lamps. A seated man on an ornate gold throne with carved lion heads and leopard-print cushions wears a gold crown, a white and pink flower garland, and a rust-red robe. Before him, a small group sits on the floor behind a low golden table holding silver plates of flowers and offerings. A bare-chested man with a white forehead marking and a rudraksha mala holds a small cup, a woman in orange sari and red blouse sits beside him, and a woman in a pink-and-green sari and another person sit at the left edge. A video camera on a tripod is visible at left. The throne figure has distinctive gold crown and garland cues, so he is a probable candidate, but his appearance is not clearly established enough to confirm.
