A seated man in an orange robe and a white flower garland sits eyes-closed on an ornate gold-and-red throne in an open pavilion with carved grey stone pillars and an orange wall. Before him, devotees in white and yellow sit on the ground, with a plate of offerings and fruit on the wooden side table. A bald man in yellow and white and a woman with a ponytail in a cream sari sit in the foreground. The man on the throne matches the page's a person context and carries distinctive saffron robe and garland cues, so he is a probable candidate rather than a confirmed identity. Other visible people include older women in white and younger women in yellow.
