A seated man in an orange-saffron robe sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with red, yellow and green flower garlands, with a tiger-striped cloth draped over the seat. Before him on a patterned rug, a shaved-headed young man in orange cloth with white tilak sits among devotees, and a shaved-headed figure with a white forehead band kneels at the front. Seated devotees in white and orange cloth, including a woman in cream sari, fill the foreground and a man with rudraksha mala and tilak sits at right beside brass vessels, flowers and offerings. Air coolers and a standing air conditioner stand against a cream wall. The throned figure's appearance is consistent with the page's identification, but the cues are limited to saffron clothing and a garlanded throne.
