Behind the throne, a man in saffron robes with a gold-and-beaded necklace and a yellow-and-orange headband stands with hands clasped, and another saffron-clad man with a dark beaded mala sits to the right.

Visible in the photo: the seated man is in the central position of honour and receives the offering from the kneeling devotee.
