A photograph of a seated figure in orange robes with a garland of green and orange flowers, hands pressed together in namaskar, on an ornate gold throne with a small gilded canopy. A large backdrop portrait shows a smiling man with long hair and a vibhuti mark, framed by multicoloured flower garlands on both sides. Seated in front on white cloth are several people in white clothes with orange shawls, some with hands folded in prayer. In the foreground are brass and silver puja vessels, a plate of apples and bananas, a silver bowl of flowers and a kalasha-like vessel on a patterned mat. The scene reads as a ceremonial gathering in a dim hall.
