He wears gold armlets and bangles and carries a red tray. Around him, a group of children and older men press their palms together in namaskar, and a shaved-headed attendant in saffron and a saffron-clad man with rudraksha beads stand nearby. Behind them, a blue backdrop shows a golden throne-like peetha with a red cushion and a golden kalasha-style crown motif, and a projection screen is visible at upper left. Whether the central figure is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so he is described by role only.2011-04-02May 17 20132013-05-17November 14 20112011-11-14 +1 copiesDecember 05 20112011-12-05 +1 copies
