A man seated on an orange-cushioned throne-like chair at night, with dark foliage behind him. He sits with both hands pressed palm to palm raised above his head in a namaste gesture and smiles. He wears a rust-red and orange dhoti-style garment, a long rudraksha mala, a heavy gold necklace, and two long garlands of yellow and red-and-white flowers. A red tilak mark is on his forehead and a red-and-white wrist band is on one arm. To the left edge, a partially visible woman in a red sari sits with her hands folded. a person: the seated man wears ceremonial gold ornaments and a rudraksha mala, with the garlands and saffron-toned clothing; the appearance cues are moderate, so this is a probable match based on dress and setting rather than certainty.
