A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands, a golden trident-like staff and a gold parasol above. Around him, several devotees in white dhotis and saris sit on the floor facing the throne, a woman in green and white and a woman in orange sit among them, and a brass plate with flowers and lamps lies in front. The setting is an indoor hall with dark blue drapes, a colourful canopy and a railing at right. The seated figure's appearance shows several cues such as long hair and saffron clothing, consistent with the presented claim, but his face is not visible enough for a firm identification.
