A photograph inside a temple-style hall with a golden throne backed by a golden arch and a gilded lion-armrest seat. A figure seated on the throne wears a red-maroon shawl over orange-gold dhoti, a flower garland, rudraksha-style beads, bangles and a headset microphone; a Swamiji (probable) candidate, identified by long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces, and a crown-like garland with saffron clothing. Before him a man in a blue shirt and dark trousers bows deeply while a man in white kneels with forehead to the floor. Standing nearby are a man in white shirt, a smiling man in checked shirt, a girl in a pink dress and a boy, and a woman in orange saree at left. Behind the throne stands a painted deity murti with trident and raised arms in red and gold, with hanging gold lamps above.
