A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-brown throne with carved lion-like armrests, draped in thick yellow marigold garlands and wearing a tall white conical headpiece. The figure is bare-chested with reddish-orange cloth and holds a metal trident-like object. A young boy in a white t-shirt, dark trousers and glasses stands in front holding a green light-saber-style stick, while an older woman in a grey-blue sari and an older man in a white shirt with an orange lanyard watch. Seated devotees in saffron and orange saris and kurtas with orange scarves fill the foreground and background of a large hall, and a canopy or umbrella is held above. The figure's identity is uncertain from appearance; the scene shows a darshan-style gathering with garlanded seated presence.
