A seated man in an orange-saffron turban and orange robe sits on a brown leather throne, wearing a thick gold-coloured beaded necklace over his chest. He smiles toward a microphone held out to him on a stand. A golden lion figure sits beside the throne. Behind him, a shaved-headed man in saffron shawl and white dhoti kneels and bows with his head lowered. Standing women in white saris with saffron borders and red shawls, and a woman in a yellow shawl, watch from behind; a brass oil lamp stands among the group, and a rudraksha mala and red-and-white garlands hang nearby. Several people are visible, with one bowing and others standing in the background.
