A man seated on a gold-framed throne with a red cushion wears saffron robes, a rudraksha mala and a garland, and his appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, though not certain. Before him stand a gold arch with a small deity murti and a coloured bunting band, flanked by ornate gold trident-tipped stands and multicoloured umbrellas. Rows of saffron-robed sannyasis and young devotees sit cross-legged on colourful striped mats, with many small clay lamps and food offerings in leaf plates lined along the floor in front of them. A standing attendant in white dhoti moves at the left.2016-12-18A ceremonial puja hall draped in white fabric.

Rows of seated people in orange and red robes sit on colourful woven mats, with rows of small white cups and food offerings laid out before them. Some seated devotees in orange robes with shaved heads and rudraksha beads sit on the left, while women in red and orange saris sit on the right.

A seated figure on an ornate golden throne wears orange and red cloth and a gold necklace, with a gold parasol above and two decorated fan-like banners beside. A white-clad priest in a white dhoti and orange sash stands before the throne near offerings. Rows of seated devotees in white and orange clothing face the throne, while a line of people in white and orange stands at the right. Along the floor at right are rows of small cups and plates of food, and in the foreground, seated devotees in white and saffron clothing fill the lower frame. The seated figure on the throne shows distinctive adornments but the appearance is not sufficiently clear to confirm identity.2015-10-23December 18 20162016-12-18December 18 20162016-12-18
