A seated man with long dark hair, a full beard, rudraksha-style garlands of white and pink flowers, and a rust-red robe smiles from an ornate gold throne with a fan-shaped gold back and red cushions, under a multicoloured fringed canopy. Two devotees in white dhoti with gold borders bow forward with folded hands, one wearing a green blouse behind them and a gold-bordered cloth. Marigold and pink flower garlands drape the seat and a wooden stand with offerings. The seated man is a person by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, ornate throne, and a presentation consistent with the page's context; the page does not state he is present, so this is set to unsure. Three people are visible.2017-04-17
