A photograph of a ceremonial gathering in a decorated hall with gold-carved throne and red-and-gold drapes. A man seated on an ornate golden throne with red cushions wears a saffron-red cloth and a long white-and-pink flower garland, with a tall ceremonial staff beside him. Around him, devotees sit on a red floor cloth: women in blue, green and white saris, men in white dhotis and teal kurta, and a bare-backed man wearing a sacred thread and rudraksha. Several women in orange saris kneel near the throne, and plates of flowers and offerings lie on the floor. Some people hold lit incense or offering plates. The seated figure shows no distinctive crown, mala or ornate saffron attire beyond the garland, so the identity is uncertain.
