A photograph of a seated robed figure on a gilded throne with red cushions, flower garlands on its arms and a flower-strewn footstool, in front of a large backdrop of a banyan tree with orange-tinted aerial roots. Around him, devotees line up in a semicircle: women in peach, cream, teal and pink saris, men in white shirts and dhotis, one man in an orange garment, and a woman in a white sari kneeling at left. A man in a white shirt leans in toward the throne, and a woman in teal reaches forward to the seated figure. A small tabletop speaker stands at left. The scene suggests a darshan or blessing line.
