A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and pink flower garlands, wearing a saffron orange robe and red shawl, with a long-haired appearance and smiling. Around him stand devotees in white ritual clothing: several women in white saris with gold borders, one in an orange-bordered sari with hands raised in prayer, and men in white shirts and dark trousers bowing or leaning in. A red carpet covers the stage, and a backdrop shows large banyan tree roots and branches. Several people sit at the lower right and left edge. Marigold petals lie scattered on the stage.
