A gold lion-shaped figure stands by the throne and a folded red-orange cloth rests on the armrest. The setting suggests a ritual abhishekam or puja.

The standing man holds papers and a small cloth. Beside them stands a gold-plated deity murti with a peacock feather and a silver staff. Behind, other devotees and a framed painting are visible. The long-haired man with saffron-toned cloth and mala resembles the a person candidate described by the page, so this is marked probable with a shawl and mala as the qualifying cues.2014-05-05A photograph of a seated figure with a bun and bare upper body, wearing an orange shawl and rudraksha malas, placing both hands on the crown of a bald, grey-haired man in a white kurta with an orange-red scarf, who leans forward with palms raised in reverence. Golden cobra-hooded seats and a silver staff stand beside them, with red draped cushions and a framed picture in the background.
