Photograph of a seated saffron-clad figure with a long braided hair and rudraksha mala, sitting on a golden throne with golden lion-like armrests, smiling as he raises his palm in a high-five-like gesture toward a white-haired man in a white shirt with an orange shawl and a gold bracelet, who raises his palm and bows his head. A video camera on a tripod stands behind them and red-shawled attendants are at the left edge. The seated figure wears an orange-saffron robe and gold-trimmed red cushion beneath.
