A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests and a brown leather seat, smiling and holding a drumstick above a black Yamaha keyboard on an orange-draped table. The figure wears a rust-orange wrap and has a red bindi and long swept-back hair. Around the throne sit a group of devotees in white clothes with orange-red shawls and sashes, many with hands raised to their foreheads in a gesture of blessing or meditation. Some have white tilak markings. The setting is a plain, pale-walled hall with a wooden door and an empty chair in the background.
