A gold ornate throne-like structure stands behind him.2015-10-26January 25 20162016-01-25A photograph of a formal welcome on a red-carpeted stage.

A golden lion-head ornament sits beside them and white flowers decorate the seat. Behind them, several devotees in orange shawls and white outfits stand in a room with cream walls.
