Behind the throne, a large floral arrangement of yellow marigolds and red flowers frames the seat. Nearby, a man in white dhoti with gold border and a woman in white sari with folded hands stand in attendance, and a gold-coloured ornamental figure and a brass lamp sit by the throne. A woman's head is visible in the lower right foreground. A large throne with a crown finial and a Swamiji (probable) cue of turban, beads and saffron-red clothing are present, while the orange-robed bowing devotee and attendants are shown in white ritual clothing.2015-07-31September 04 20132013-09-04A seated figure in a maroon-and-gold dhoti-style robe with a white and orange garland and a white tilak on the forehead receives a bowed devotee in a grey striped shirt and white trousers, who presses palms together and lowers his head toward the figure's hands. Behind them stands a golden deity murti draped with a multicoloured flower garland, with banana leaves, marigold garlands and golden peetha-style seats framing the scene. Several women in white and maroon saris and saffron-trimmed robes with rudraksha or orange garlands stand nearby, with brass trays of offerings on the floor.
