A seated man in a white turban and golden-bordered cream dhoti sits on a red throne against an ornate white wall with pink and gold geometric panels. He wears a heavy garland of pink rose petals and yellow beaded flowers and holds a rudraksha mala. A standing man in white kurta raises both arms in front of him, while seated devotees in white clothes and orange shawls surround the throne, one holding a mala and another with a braid in a white sari with pink border. Marigold and rose petals are scattered on the floor, and flower garlands hang from the wall. Appearance-based cues are limited, so the seated figure is marked unsure.
