Behind them, people in white dhotis and white kurtas wearing rudraksha malas stand near a striped woven mat and a garlanded seat, with a yellow-clad attendant at the right edge. The setting appears to be a temple interior at night with a framed picture on the wall. The seated figure has no visible long hair, crown or ceremonial gold ornaments, so the appearance does not qualify as a person candidate; the figure is described by role as a devotee receiving blessing.2009-07-13November 11 20162016-11-11Indoor hall photograph of a devotional reception.
