A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with long, swept-back dark hair and a white-and-red flower garland, smiling and gesturing with his right hand from a wooden throne-like seat under a corrugated roof. Two devotees kneel and bow their heads to the platform in front of him: a woman in a peach-and-gold sari with a long dark braid, and a man in a white kurta with a wristwatch. Behind the seat, a decorated arch of red, green, yellow and white garlands frames a deity murti adorned with flower garlands, and flower-filled brass plates and bowls lie on the white platform.
