A figure seated on an ornate golden throne with a lion-like carved armrest wears a rust-orange turban with a peacock feather, an orange-brown robe, and a long garland of white and orange flowers; the appearance is a person receiving devotees, with the throne and orange turban as the qualifying cues. A bald elderly man in white clothes sits in a chair at the foot of the throne. Several devotees sit on the floor and hold steel trays of flowers and offerings. Hanging brass bells, oil lamps and a carved wooden door frame the scene.2014-08-17Photo inside a dim, dark-walled room of a temple-like hall during a padapuja. A seated figure in a rust-orange dhoti-style wrap and orange-red turban sits on an ornate gold throne with a gold lion-form armrest, wearing a white and green flower garland and gold bangles; the figure's face is not clearly visible enough to judge, so the identity is left uncertain. Round silver trays holding flowers, fruit and small lamps rest on a gold table before the throne, and hanging brass bells and an oil lamp frame the scene. In the foreground a bald man in white clothing sits on a black chair, with several women in saris and a man in green kurta seated to the right near a large cream door. Lit oil lamps and a bell hang over the throne.2014-08-17August 17 20142014-08-17August 17 20142014-08-17August 20 20142014-08-20November 11 20142014-11-11Devotees make padapuja offerings before a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a carved lion-head armrest and tiger-striped cushion.
