A photograph of a seated figure in a deep red-maroon robe with a yellow and orange marigold garland around the neck and gold earrings, placing a hand on the head of a kneeling man in a light grey collarless shirt with palms pressed together. Behind them, standing devotees include a woman in white with a rudraksha mala and a woman in a white sari with gold bangles. A large gold ceremonial object is in the foreground. The figure has long swept-back dark hair and gold ornaments, but the appearance is not clearly established, so the identity is uncertain.
