A photograph from a large indoor hall of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with carved gold panels and brown leather cushioning. The seated person wears a white conical hat, a thick yellow marigold garland and a long yellow flower drape over the throne, and holds a green lightsaber-style rod while smiling. A silver trident-topped staff stands to the left. To the right, an older man in white clothes and orange-and-white lanyards bends forward beside an older woman in a maroon-and-pink sari, who is handling a small cup and a string of rudraksha or beads on a table. Behind, a crowd of seated and standing people in orange and saffron clothing watches, and a raised wooden panel is held overhead. Visible physical people number roughly 20-30.
