A photo in a gilded temple hall. A long-haired man with a beard and a tilak-marked forehead sits on an ornate gold throne with a leopard-print cushion, wearing a rust-red wrap and a gold necklace, bare arms with gold bangles, and seems to be scooping food from a silver bowl set on a green-edged gold stand. Beside him, a young boy with long hair and a bright orange turban and orange cloth kneels, holding out a handful of food. Behind them stand golden statues of deities with raised hands, and a gold decorative backdrop.
