A photograph of a ceremonial blessing on a gilded throne decorated with red, yellow and white flower garlands, set before a large backdrop printed with a banyan tree's aerial roots. A seated figure in an orange robe with maroon trim and a bare head is receiving a devotee who bows forward in a white shirt and white dhoti, pressing a hand to the seated figure's head. A line of women in white saris with gold borders and girls in white and orange stands at the right, waiting for their turn. A man in white kneels in the foreground, a woman in white sits at the left edge, and an orange-robed attendant stands in the left background. The figure in orange on the throne has long swept-back hair, which is a distinctive cue, though the identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
