A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with carved red-and-gold lion-headed armrests, bare-chested with a dark saffron-brown cloth draped over the lap and a white floral garland around the neck. The figure's back is to the camera and the face is not visible; the appearance is consistent with a person in ceremonial presentation, though the view is partial. Facing him, a line of devotees in white clothes with orange-red shawls and orange lanyards, one with grey hair, bow or extend hands in greeting as the seated figure raises a hand in blessing. A woman in a white top and a man in a white shirt stand near, and a person in pink-and-white attire stands behind. A large hall with red drapes, a camera on a tripod, and rows of seated attendees stretch behind them, with a digital clock on the wall.
