A photograph of a seated figure on a flower-decorated throne under a tent canopy. The figure has long dark hair swept back, wears a rust-brown and orange wrap, a red-and-white garland, a green cloth at the shoulder and gold armbands. The figure is extending a hand toward a smiling woman in a pale pink sari who holds a small child, with another child at her side. Behind the throne, a large display of red, yellow, purple and white flowers and a gold-coloured ceremonial object are visible. Many seated devotees fill the orange-draped hall beyond, with a sound desk and lights overhead.
