A seated man with long dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a bare shoulder and a brown leopard-print wrap sits on a golden throne, receiving a devotee who bows with palms pressed together in namaskar. The devotee, in a white t-shirt and light dhoti-style lower garment, wears an orange-red sacred thread shawl printed with script. A silver trident stands beside the throne, with orange flowers and green leaves nearby. Behind them, gold garlands hang on a deity murti draped with maroon cloth. Two women in orange and red saris stand in the background. The seated man is a person by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, a leopard-print shawl and a throne setting, with a sacred trident nearby; treat as unsure given the mixed cues.
