A seated man in an orange saffron garment and a multi-strand rudraksha-style mala with a gold pendant sits on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet back, beneath a gold canopy with hanging leaf ornaments. Two priests in white dhotis sit on the floor at the left and two devotees in white and cream saris sit at the right, facing the throne with offerings of pink lotus flowers and pooja items on a gold platform. Behind the throne is a large printed backdrop of a deity figure in a temple setting with tall gold lamp stands on either side. The seated figure has a red bindi and is not a clear appearance match for the page's a person reference, so the identity is uncertain.
