Photograph of a seated man on an ornate red-cushioned golden throne with a large gold-embossed backrest, draped in long garlands of yellow, white, red and purple flowers. He wears a leopard-print headband, a red-brown dhoti, gold necklaces and bangles, and a trident (trishul) stands beside the throne. He sits with palms pressed together in greeting. A younger attendant in an orange turban and saffron-orange cloth, bare-chested with sandalwood marks on his body, bends forward offering a white and yellow flower-decorated item. A saffron canopy with tassels is overhead and a standing person in orange stands behind. The setting appears to be an outdoor ashram courtyard with a green roof in the background. Context suggests a Ganesh Chaturthi event, but no ritual is clearly visible beyond the offering. The seated figure's appearance does not clearly establish identity, so role is given as the seated presiding figure.
