A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne heaped with flower garlands and a bank of pink and white petals, raising one hand in greeting. He wears orange and saffron clothing, a red and white garland, and a rudraksha-style mala. Around him stand several children and young people in orange robes and orange head-wraps, some with long dark hair, pressing close and reaching toward him. A man in white shirt and lanyard stands at the left, an older man in orange with a shaved head stands at right, and a cameraman in white is visible at the right edge. Behind the throne is a large floral arch of marigolds in red, purple, yellow and green, with a gold canopy above. Several women in saris stand at the left in the background. The appearance is consistent with a person seated in a ceremonial throne with the devotee children, though it is not clearly established.
