A photograph of a man seated in a plush orange armchair before an ornate golden shrine. He wears a flowing saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder, a red vermilion mark on his forehead, and a gold ceremonial baton or sceptre resting across his lap. His bare feet rest on a small patterned footstool, and one hand touches his cheek. Behind him stand large golden deity murtis with a blue-skinned figure in yellow and red garments and a figure in red-and-orange dress, flanked by tall golden lamps and a garlanded kalasha with flower garlands. A small white-clad devotee sits near the altar. The scene suggests a darshan setting with a peetha-style seat.

July 06 20102010-07-06A man with long dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange robe and bare feet, sits on an orange upholstered chair with hands clasped in his lap and one foot resting on an orange footstool. Behind him stands a gilded shrine arch framing two large painted deity statues: one blue-skinned, four-armed figure in yellow dhoti and the other in orange and gold sari, with a gold kalasha-like altar piece garlanded with purple and white flowers. Brass oil lamps and a small framed deity image flank the shrine, and a white pedestal sits to the left. The sitter's appearance matches the page's a person reference only partially, with long swept hair and saffron clothing but no crown or rudraksha, so identity remains unsure.2010-07-06 +1 copiesJuly 02 20102010-07-02 +1 copiesA man in saffron-orange robes sits in an orange armchair on a raised platform in front of a large gilded shrine arch.
