Photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, wearing orange saffron robes with gold border, a red-and-white flower garland, and a red tilak on his forehead; his feet rest on a white cloth covered with rose petals. A woman in white salwar kameez with a blue shoulder bag stands at left, hand near her face, and a man in a white shirt and grey trousers stands at right with palms pressed together. Behind them, women in red and orange saris and a man in an orange shawl are present, under a white canopy with a red-and-white bunting border and a brass trident hanging at left. The scene looks like a devotee reception or ceremonial honouring at an ashram event.
