Photograph of a ceremony seated on a golden throne (peetha) with a lion-head armrest, backed by a large garland of marigolds and white flowers in red, yellow and white. A seated figure in an orange-brown robe, gold necklaces and rudraksha-style beaded malas, with a matching orange turban and gold bangles, sits with hands folded and smiles. Two young devotees in saffron-orange turbans and robes kneel in front with palms pressed together in anjali, one wearing a rudraksha mala. Pink fabric and flower offerings appear at right.
