A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with a gilded arched back and red cushions, set before a dark stone wall with painted turquoise and pink borders. The seated man wears a saffron-yellow robe, a pale yellow turban, a long multicolour garland of pink and yellow flowers, and a rudraksha mala around his neck; he smiles and raises one hand. A younger attendant in an orange-saffron dhoti and sash, with white sacred markings on the arm and gold bangles, stands at left holding a white ritual vessel from which a flame or lamp glows. Pink and white flower offerings rest on the golden throne base.
