A golden ceremonial throne (peetha) with a gilded canopy hung with leaf-shaped pendants is decorated with long garlands of multicolored flowers in yellow, maroon, pink, orange, green and white. Mounted on the throne's back panel is a framed photograph of a bare-chested man with long dark hair, wearing a saffron wrap and a rudraksha mala, hands in anjali mudra before a tree trunk; this is a depiction in a print, not a physical person. A golden kalasha-like vessel and a silver pedestal stand in front of the throne, with brass lamps on top of the silver base. No physical people are visible. The setting is an open outdoor ground with a patterned rug and yellow and orange cloths nearby, and a date stamp reading 21 12 2005 appears on the right edge.
