A photograph of a devotee kneeling on a white rug before a seated figure on a red cushioned throne. The seated figure has long dark hair tied up, a tiger-striped orange and black garment, and a layered beaded necklace. The kneeling devotee wears a white head covering, white top and a rust-orange shawl, with palms pressed together in namaskar. Behind them stand a gold-embossed framed image, a gilded lion-shaped throne arm, and several people in white and orange-red shawls in the background. The seated figure's appearance is uncertain, so the identity is not asserted.
