Behind them, several people in orange and white traditional clothes stand in a hall with other metal bowls of offerings, a microphone on a stand and a fan nearby. The seated figure's distinctive hair and orange and gold attire match appearance cues for a person, shown here as a seated recipient of an offering in a devotional setting such as an annadan or puja.
