A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne (peetha) framed by a carved gilded arch with a makara-style crest, backed by gold draped curtains. The seated figure wears a tall black hair crown with a silver ornament and crescent, a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklaces, golden robes and a red sash, and holds one hand raised in blessing. The throne is decorated with garlands of red roses, yellow marigolds and white flowers, with green leaves, and a brass kalasha stands in front. The figure is a statue or murti rather than a living person and no physical people are visible.
