A seated man on a silver-and-gold throne draped with a leopard-print cloth, wearing an orange-saffron robe, rudraksha malas, a gold crown and long swept-back hair, sits to the right of a satsang. Around a floral arrangement of marigolds at his feet, several people sit on a striped cloth on the floor: a bearded man in orange with rudraksha beads and tilak, a young man bare-chested in white dhoti, a girl in orange with a white-marked forehead, and a child in orange with vibhuti markings. A woman in orange sits at the lower left with her hair in a bun. Behind them a cameraman in white operates a tripod-mounted camera beside red curtains, a gold-carved pillar and a standing air cooler. The throne figure matches appearance cues for the a person candidate, so this is probable.

A man seated on an ornate gold throne with lion carvings and a leopard-print cushion wears an orange-brown robe, a long pink-and-white flower garland, a gold necklace and bangles, with long dark hair and a beard; the page does not confirm his identity, and his appearance alone is not enough to name him, so he is described by role as a seated figure on the throne. Before the throne, several men in saffron-orange cloths and rudraksha malas sit on a striped rug; one holds a lit oil lamp or aarti flame, another has his hands joined in prayer, and offerings sit on silver and brass plates. Nearby a trident stands upright and a small bronze deity figure is placed beside the throne. Red curtains hang behind, with incense smoke rising.2017-05-05
