A photograph of a smiling man seated on a ceremonial throne-like seat during a pada-puja event. He wears a deep red turban with gold trim and a small jewel, a red bindi, and a small microphone clipped near his ear. Around his neck are thick garlands of white jasmine and yellow and red flowers, with rudraksha beads visible beneath. He wears a red and gold shawl over the shoulder. Behind him hangs a garland of red, purple, yellow and white flowers, and a red fabric canopy with gold tassels frames the left side. A person's hand with a bead bracelet rests on a silver footstool or pada rest in the foreground.
