A photograph in a temple-like hall shows a man seated on an ornate gold throne with a red-and-gold turban, a red-and-green garland of berries and leaves, gold necklaces and armlets, and a red robe. He has a red bindi and smiles with eyes lowered. A small golden lion figure with a raised head sits beside the throne. In front, a woman in a brown shawl holds a steel plate of food and a man in a blue-and-grey checked shirt bends forward toward the seated figure. Behind them a red curtain and a microphone stand are visible. Given the visible cues of the swept turban, garlands and gold throne, the seated man is a person receiving devotees, with the others as devotees offering prasad.
