A photograph of a man seated on an ornate silver throne on a stage with blue haze at left. He has long swept-back hair, wears a red-orange robe, a multi-strand rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, and sits with hands folded. Silver lion figures flank the throne, a trident-topped staff and a leopard-patterned pole stand beside it, and carved red stone pillars rise behind. Hand-held phones and raised hands appear at the bottom edge of the frame, with a small crowd of spectators in the foreground. a person appears in person on the stage, seated in a ceremonial role.
