A seated man on an ornate gold throne, with a gold trident standing behind him and a lion-carved armrest, is the central figure of a ceremony. He wears a rust-orange robe, a rudraksha mala, a red-and-white flower garland and a gold necklace, with a white tilak on his forehead; the throne is flanked by a flower-decorated arch of red, white and orange blossoms. In front of him, devotees in white and cream traditional dress, a woman in a pink blouse and a woman in orange sit on the ground with their heads toward the throne, some bare-chested men among them. The image is a photograph of a temple festival or procession setting, with potted plants at the left.
