A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a white and red flower garland, sitting on a throne-like seat before a wall of white and orange flower decorations. A man in a white kurta with a rudraksha-style mala bends forward to touch the seated figure's hands. A woman in a light blue top and another person stand at the left, and a golden lion-form ornament rests by the seat.
