Before him, a bare-backed man in a white dhoti with a gold border kneels, his head bowed and hands raised in reverence, with a rudraksha mala around his neck. A third person's hand rests on his shoulder at left, and a gilded temple tower stands in the background. The seated figure wears a white tilak, has long dark matted hair wrapped up with beads, and sits barefoot on the dais, which fits the a person cues of hair, saffron-ochre robe, garland and rudraksha, though his identity is unconfirmed from appearance alone.2018-04-03A seated man in a maroon embroidered kurta with a gold pendant and white floral garland sits on an ornate golden throne decorated with red roses, yellow marigolds and green leaves. He has long dark hair and a red bindi and is looking forward. In the foreground a bald man in a white shirt is seen from behind, his head bowed toward the seated figure. On the left a table holds a microphone, a brass bowl and a vase of red, white and blue flowers. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and a garland and is seated on a throne, but the appearance cues are not sufficient to confirm an identity, so the presence is marked unsure.2011-01-23A seated man in orange-saffron robes with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a multi-coloured flower garland and a brown rudraksha-style mala, raises his hand to the head of an older bald man in a white shirt and white dhoti who bows low before him. The seated man is on a throne-like seat draped with a tiger-striped cloth and red cushion, in front of ornate gold carved panels and a trident-shaped metal ornament. Behind them stand a man in white ritual clothes with red sash and rudraksha beads, and a bare-chested attendant with beaded armbands. Ritual honouring scene, a person seated on the throne receiving the bowing devotee.2016-05-02A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet cushion, wearing a maroon-red and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl, a rudraksha mala with a long double strand around the neck, gold earrings and a red bindi.
