A seated figure in saffron robes sits on an ornate gold throne with lion-form arms, surrounded by brass trays of offerings. Standing before the throne, a line of devotees in white and bright clothing press palms together in prayer; one woman wears a yellow and multicolour sari. Two saffron-clad attendants stand nearby, one holding a white flower garland. Striped and patterned rugs cover the floor, and a red cloth backdrop hangs behind. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's description of the event, but the face and identity cannot be confirmed from the image, so the seated figure is recorded as a sannyasi on a throne.2009-12-16August 23 20142014-08-23PhotoAlbumA photo inside a room with a red-and-gold canopy and a red wall visible through a doorway.

He looks off to the side, calm and attentive. Behind him, a blurred figure in white and yellow sits in a pale room with wooden chairs, a dark doorway and a light wall.
