A bearded man with long braided hair, in an orange-saffron garment over a leopard-print cloth, sits smiling on a brown leather throne with gold trim and gold lion-head arm rests. A standing attendant in white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha mala stands behind the throne, hand raised to his face. A woman in a teal saree holds a framed gold-toned plaque, and other women in saris and a woman in a white-and-black saree stand nearby holding framed plaques with deity images. A large gold trident stands at right. Several crowd members sit on the floor in the background. The man on the throne has distinctive long braided hair, saffron-orange clothing and rudraksha beads, so he is a person candidate in the presence of devotees.
