A photograph of a seated man in an orange sleeveless robe and long beaded necklaces, smiling, seated in an ornate red and gold armchair on a raised platform. His hands are clasped in his lap. Behind him is a golden kalasha-like vessel and colourful embroidered hangings. Seated devotees on mats in front wear white clothes and yellow-orange cords, with hands folded in anjali; a child in a red shirt sits in front. Overhead hang decorative paper ornaments and a painted pillar. A man with a white shirt and grey beard sits nearby in a yellow shawl. The seated man in orange is a person candidate based on the saffron robe, multiple beaded necklaces and throne setting, so he is described here as an appearance-based label only.
