A photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver-and-red throne in a hall during a Navaratri darbar. He wears a rust-orange draped robe, a white-painted forehead with a vertical mark, long dark hair swept back, and a gold necklace. He holds a golden ritual implement in his right hand with eyes closed and a gentle smile. Behind him stands a silver staff, and a keyboard-style instrument sits at the left. Seated and standing devotees in white and saffron clothing fill the background, one woman with palms pressed together in namaste. Decorated silver lion-form pedestal details are visible at the lower left. Persons identified only by appearance as a person, seated in the central throne position.
