A photograph of a figure standing in front of an ornate golden throne (peetha) with a dark red cushion, backed by a large arc of marigold and red-yellow flower garlands. Two golden lion figures flank the seat. The standing figure, with a shaved head and a tilak mark, wears a rudraksha mala and a long ceremonial gold necklace, a red-and-cream dhoti with gold borders, and a red-brown wrap, with hands raised in greeting. Two silver trishula staves and two ornate golden parasols stand beside the throne. At right, a seated man in orange-brown robes holds a small object, and a dhoti-clad attendant stands in the background. A red-draped stage and marigold offerings lie at the base, with a hazy light haze in the air. a person candidate: the standing figure has a shaved head and tilak, and rudraksha and gold necklaces, but these cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity.
