A young boy in a bare-chested, orange-red cloth stands on a checkered marble floor, ringing a small handbell beside a gold throne. Seated on the throne is a life-size printed cutout of a smiling bearded man in a red-orange turban with a tilak, wearing layered gold necklaces, rudraksha and bead malas, and red-orange robes, with one hand raised in a blessing gesture. The gold throne has lion-head armrests and a red velvet seat. On the floor before it sit a brass plate of rose petals, a brass tray holding a silver-decorated object with flowers, a bowl of fruit, and a small oil lamp. Red and white flower garlands hang on the yellow wall beside gold curtains. A timestamp reads Apr 8, 2022 12:55:25 PM, 8 Kalika Gali, Lahori Tola, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.
