Behind them stands an ornate gold throne with carved gold scrollwork and a red velvet seat, with a painted deity mural in the background. The seated figure shows distinctive saffron robes and mala cues but his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so this is a person depiction only in the sense of the page's claim, and the scene reads as a padapuja-style blessing.2011-11-26February 25 20132013-02-25March 07 20132013-03-07A photograph of a man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl with a long rudraksha mala draped over his chest, his forehead marked with white vibhuti and a red kumkum dot, placing his right hand on the head of a balding man in a white t-shirt with a pearl necklace. A golden throne-like seat with ornate gilding stands to the left, and a carved stone panel is behind.
