Photo of a seated figure receiving devotion at a flower-decorated dais. A man in white kurta bows forward with his head lowered, hands touching the floor near a seated woman in a white and gold sari. Another woman in white, with a long braid and holding a rudraksha-style mala, leans in beside the dais. Orange lilies, pink flowers and white blooms fill the right foreground, with green foliage in front. Standing people in white and orange clothing appear in the background. The seated figure on the gold-draped bench is not clearly identifiable, so no appearance-based a person candidate is claimed.
