The seated figure wears a saffron-orange garment, a long ornate gold necklace with beads, and a bead mala, with hands folded in the lap and a red-brown mark on the forehead; the appearance is consistent with a person but the cues are not decisive, so identity is unsure. A bald man in a maroon-orange robe in the left foreground raises a tiered lamp of many lit flames toward the throne. A woman in an orange sari sits on the lower step beside the throne. Brass lamps stand on either side and a reflective white floor shows the reflection of the throne.2013-02-21February 26 20132013-02-26 +1 copiesJanuary 05 20142014-01-05January 14 20142014-01-14
