Photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, wearing an orange-red turban and orange-saffron draped garment with a heavy beaded mala necklace and gold bangles. The seated figure holds a red fruit in one hand while a man in a white shirt and glasses kneels before them with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them a woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala stands smiling beside gold lion-head carvings and a gold-finished peetha. A brass oil lamp stands in the left foreground. The appearance of the seated figure is consistent with the probable presence of a person, based on the turban, saffron clothing and beaded necklaces, though this is an appearance-based label only.
