Photo of a hall with a golden ornate throne at centre, on which a seated man in a maroon/red robe with a long gold ceremonial necklace and rudraksha-style beads sits on a red cushion, flanked by a brass kalasha vessel, a trident-topped stand and a pedestal fan. Around him, people in saffron and orange robes with gold borders stand and sit, several clapping and raising hands; a young girl in orange stands in front, and women in white and orange sarees appear at right. A red curtain and bamboo screens form the backdrop, and a patterned red carpet lies before the throne. The scene suggests a puja or darshan setting, with the seated figure's identity not established from appearance.
