Photo of a seated figure on a gilded throne with a golden lion-shaped armrest, wearing a deep maroon robe and a brown rudraksha mala draped over one shoulder, with vibhuti marks on the forehead, holding a cord or mala in his hands. Standing before him on the left, a man in a white dhoti with a gold border and rudraksha malas, hands joined in namaste, makes a respectful greeting. Red curtains and a silver ceremonial staff frame the stage, and a partly visible woman sits at the lower left edge. Watermarked archive photo; the page does not confirm the event, so the seated figure's identity is not asserted.
