A photograph of a long-haired man in a silver-grey embroidered garment and a white-and-red garland seated on an ornate gold throne framed by a garland of red, yellow and green flowers against a dark blue curtain. Two devotees kneel before him: a woman in a mustard-yellow salwar kameez with her palms pressed together in namaskar, and a man in a white striped shirt with bent head, apparently offering a vessel. Brass oil lamps with flower garlands stand on either side of the throne. The setting suggests a padapuja-style honouring. The seated man is not clearly identifiable from appearance: his long hair and garlands are distinctive, but his face and clothing do not give enough cues to confirm an identity, so he is described only by role.
