A photograph of an empty ceremonial throne, or peetha, decorated for an event. The gilded wooden throne has a deep red velvet seat and back and is framed by an arch of garlands in yellow, white, purple and green flowers. White jasmine garlands drape across the front of the platform, and a microphone stand stands beside it. Ornately carved gold panels flank the throne, and tall brass oil lamps with lit flames stand at either side against a backdrop of red and orange woven mats with patterns. No people are visible.
