Photograph of a golden ornate throne draped with red fabric, decorated with flower garlands and yellow marigold, in a festive hall. A long-haired man in orange saffron robes sits on the throne wearing a yellow bead garland and gold necklaces, smiling as a shaven-headed attendant in orange robes places a garland on him. Another attendant in orange stands behind; a young girl in white and a seated elder in white are among the surrounding devotees. Balloons and colourful fabric decorate the background.
