A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne decorated with red, yellow, white and purple flower garlands and a gold crown-shaped finial. The figure wears a white dhoti-style cloth with a gold border, a long gold-beaded necklace, a red bindi and gold bangles, and has long dark hair. He holds up a clear plastic-wrapped book with a red and orange cover, speaking into a microphone on a stand. Red zebra-striped cushions flank the throne. Below, silver ritual vessels and flower petals sit in front of the dais, and an attendant in orange robes holds an orange cloth at the left edge.
