A photograph of a seated figure in orange robes on a gold-and-red ornate throne, palms pressed together in greeting, wearing a garland of red, yellow and green flowers and a long garland draped to his lap. Devotees sit on the floor around a white-covered table: a woman in an orange sari washes the feet of the seated figure from a brass plate with flowers, while a woman in pink and a man in white with folded hands watch, and young people in yellow-and-white garments sit to the right. Golden curtains hang behind, with a vase of yellow sunflowers and offerings of fruit and sweets on the table. The setting suggests a padapuja ceremony.
