A man seated on the gilded throne wears a red turban, reddish-orange robe and gold necklace, smiling and extending his hand toward a kneeling devotee. Standing behind him, a man in white dhoti with rudraksha mala holds a bell-like object. A man in blue kurta kneels with folded hands holding a red object, and a man in white kurta kneels with palms pressed together in namaste. Other people and a golden trident are visible at the edges. The seated figure's features are not clearly enough visible to confirm identity, so this is a seated devotee-receiving-blessing scene.2015-09-12March 28 20162016-03-28September 12 20152015-09-12A photograph of a ceremonial moment on a stage with gold-ornate decor.
