A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned seat and a large gold scalloped backrest wears a maroon-red robe, a gold ceremonial necklace and bangles, with a tilak on his forehead and long dark hair. He has a person appearance from his long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and maroon robe, with a candidate description; the throne alone is insufficient, so identity is uncertain. Around him stand several devotees in orange and white robes and rudraksha malas, including a bare-chested priest in the foreground with white ash markings and an orange turban holding a brass ladle over a yellow altar. Women in orange saris stand to the right beside a decorated tray with flower garlands and an orange and purple cloth, with a brass lamp nearby.2017-04-16September 21 20172017-09-21September 11 20102010-09-11
