Photograph of a seated figure in a rust-red and orange robe with a pink and yellow flower garland, holding a tall silver staff with a round top, with white vibhuti marks on the forehead. Before him, kneeling devotees in purple, orange, grey and teal clothing hold out cupped hands receiving pink flower petals, with white flower heaps on the floor. Standing behind are men in white dhotis and an orange shawl, one wearing a red garland and a rudraksha mala, and a man in a maroon shirt. A framed deity picture and a lit lamp sit on a shelf in the background. The figure appears to be a person seated in a distinctive ritual posture, with the staff and garland as his cues.
