A seated figure on an ornate golden throne with a tiger-skin cushion, wearing a red-orange robe, a crown-like headpiece, a gold necklace and a white-and-red garland, smiling as he receives attention. A young boy in a white dhoti with a gold border stands before him, and a girl in a blue top and pink salwar stands with a brass oil lamp. Two seated attendants in white ceremonial clothes sit at the left edge, and a golden deity murti and brass oil lamps stand at right. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated on the throne in the central position with the crown and saffron-red robe cues, though the image is not fully clear. The scene suggests a ritual pada puja setting on a decorated stage.2016-05-24A seated man on an ornate gilded throne with a tiger-skin cushion, wearing a golden crown and a rust-red garment, with a long white and pink flower garland draped over his shoulders and a golden staff at his side. He smiles while seated above a metal bowl of offerings. In the foreground at right, a woman in a pink sari with folded hands performs reverence beside a brass oil lamp, and a partially visible person in red stands at left.

Several women sit on the floor at the front in white and green saris. Two dancers in pink and blue saris balance decorated brass-like pots on their heads and perform on the red stage.
