A man in a red checked shirt and dark trousers leans in from the left to attend him, while a man in orange dhoti and a woman in white with a teal bandhani shawl stand nearby, and a woman in a white sari with gold bangles stands at right. Behind them hangs a large pink-and-red patterned backdrop, and an out-of-focus person in white is at the lower right edge. Visible people are seated or standing around the throne and the scene reads as a devotional gathering in a stage setting.2009-08-29June 12 20102010-06-12June 12 20102010-06-12Photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne against a blue draped backdrop, wearing orange robes with long swept-back hair, a small red forehead mark and a shawl-like orange garment; the figure's identity is uncertain from appearance.
