A man in a saffron-orange robe with a pink and yellow flower garland sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, holding out his hand. Before him a man with white forehead markings and a red garment bends low, appearing to wash or touch the seated man's feet, with a brass dish of offerings and fruit nearby. Behind them stand bare-chested men in white dhotis with rudraksha malas and forehead markings, and a brass trident rises beside the throne. Fairy lights decorate the background. The seated figure's appearance is a probable match to a person by his throne, saffron clothing, garland and rudraksha-style necklace; the other men are devotees and attendants.2017-02-23
