A person seated on the throne wears an orange-red garment, a multi-coloured floral garland and a gold necklace, and is receiving folded hands and a brass offering plate. Around them, devotees in white clothes and orange shawls stand close; a woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala holds a brass plate, and an older man in white looks on. Electric fans and small offerings sit on a side table. The cues are a visible throne, garland and gold adornments; the person seated on the throne appears to have long hair and orange-red clothing, so the appearance is a probable Swamiji (probable) candidate, present in person, while the surrounding people are devotees.2009-07-07
