A night-time photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron shawl draped over his head and shoulders, with a white tilak mark on his forehead, seated in an ornate cream upholstered throne with gold floral embroidery. A man in a white shirt and a red thread around his wrist stands at left, raising his right hand toward the seated figure, appearing to offer a blessing or greeting. Dark background with a blurred building behind. a person cues: the orange shawl and throne seating; the figure is seated and receiving the gesture, so the appearance is only partly distinctive.

Behind them stands an ornate gold throne with carved gold scrollwork and a red velvet seat, with a painted deity mural in the background. The seated figure shows distinctive saffron robes and mala cues but his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so this is a person depiction only in the sense of the page's claim, and the scene reads as a padapuja-style blessing.2011-11-26A photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron robe with long dark wavy hair, a red bindi and white tilak on the forehead, smiling with eyes closed.
