He has closed eyes, a red tilak on his forehead, a pink flower garland and a gold chain, and his right hand is raised in a blessing gesture. In the foreground, a bare-backed attendant in an orange turban and orange cloth holds a lit flame or oil lamp toward him. Hanging gold bells and gold cords decorate the throne area behind. The scene is a ritual or darshan setting; the seated man appears to be a person (in-person candidate) with saffron-toned garments and a flower garland on a throne, but his identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2017-08-09 +1 copiesJune 19 20162016-06-19 +1 copiesJuly 25 20132013-07-25September 02 20172017-09-02A man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with a red and white flower garland and a gold-beaded necklace sits on an ornate gold throne carved with a lion-head armrest and a tiger-skin cushion, holding a brass hand bell raised in his right hand.
