A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long dark rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne in an open temple courtyard, hands folded in his lap. Behind him stands a deity murti draped in yellow and orange silk, with garlands of white and purple flowers, and a kalasha and brass lamps nearby. Around the dais, several women in cream and gold saris and a man in white dhoti with gold necklace sit on the ground facing him, some holding flower offerings, with microphones in the foreground. Tall red and orange temple architecture and a carved stone pillar frame the scene. The throne-seated man wears distinctive saffron robes and rudraksha malas; this is an appearance-based candidate for a person, probable.
