January 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated figure on a gold-trimmed throne receiving a framed picture from an older man in white. The seated person wears an orange robe and is garlanded with red and pink flower garlands and white jasmine strands, with a small yellow flower offering nearby. The older man in a white shirt and dhoti with a maroon waist cloth leans forward holding the framed picture. A woman in white with a yellow shawl stands behind him, and a man with folded hands stands at the left edge. A small wooden tray holds offerings in the foreground, with a water bottle beside it.
