A man in a white turban and a lavender-and-gold patterned long kurta stands with arms spread wide in front of an ornate gold throne. A long white and purple garland with red and green accents hangs around his neck, along with a gold bead necklace, and a light shawl drapes over one arm. He smiles broadly while a woman in a white outfit with folded hands and a man in an orange garment stand before him. Behind them, devotees watch, including a girl in a red dress and women in saris, one holding a bouquet of yellow and orange flowers. A flower-decorated tray sits on a table at the bottom edge. The man's turban, flowing long hair, and ornate clothing match the presentation cues, but the image does not establish identity, so the a person field is set to unsure.
