A photograph taken at night in a dimly lit hall. A seated figure on an ornate silver throne with a carved back wears an orange-saffron shawl over a dark maroon garment, a rudraksha-style floral garland and a bold orange tilak on the forehead, smiling with eyes closed. A man in a white shirt and white cloth with a red-and-maroon sash, wearing a wristwatch and a lanyard, stands before him with palms joined and his right hand raised, touching the seated figure's forehead. Behind them, standing figures in white and maroon hold long silver-tipped staffs, and a bronze deity murti or statue stands in the background.
