A seated man in an orange-red dhoti and a pink rose garland with a black rudraksha mala extends his right hand to touch the forehead of a young woman who has her eyes closed and palms pressed together. The man has long swept-back dark hair and sits beside a gilded lion figure and a peacock-feather fan. The young woman wears a white short-sleeved top with red trim, an orange shawl, bangles and a red thread on her wrist. Behind them are a framed colourful artwork on a white wall and a blurred seated figure in white at the right edge.2014-05-10April 10 20162016-04-10 +1 copiesA seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, wearing an orange-red robe and a white flower garland, has his feet placed on a small gold footstool. Several devotees sit on red cloth before him, many with trays of flowers and offerings, including a man in white with a red-and-white garland and women in white and orange-red saris. Red drapes, a tall gold ceremonial staff and a potted plant fill the room.
