A photograph inside a temple-style hall with black slate wall and a wall-mounted air conditioner. A man seated on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests and leopard-print cushions wears a red turban, a multicolour flower garland and gold jewellery, and smiles toward a seated audience. Several people sit cross-legged on the floor at a low brass table: a woman in an orange sari, a boy with white tilak, a man in white dhoti with tilak, and women in red and white saris with vibhuti marks. Brass plates hold flower petals, a brass kalasha-style vessel and offerings; hanging brass bells and a lamp are above. The throned man is appearance-based as a person, with his distinctive turban, flower garland and ornate gold throne as cues, seated in an honoured position.
