A photograph at an indoor event under a large red-tinted banner portrait of a smiling bearded man with long hair, framed by yellow and white marigold garlands hung on black drapes. In front, a figure in a cream-gold embroidered robe and a light turban sits on a white-and-gold decorated throne with a red cushion, heavily garlanded with white jasmine, while touching the throne's side. A kneeling man in white dhoti and shirt with folded hands bows before him. Standing nearby are a man in white kurta-dhoti and another in a grey-beige robe with rudraksha mala, hands joined in prayer. A seated elderly woman in a wheelchair in white sari, hands folded, faces the throne. Flower petals cover a white-draped table in front. Whether the seated figure is a person cannot be determined from appearance alone, so the identity is left unsure.
