The central figure wears a tall black hair bun, a white vertical forehead mark, a rust-red robe, multiple rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, a large gold pendant and gold bangles, with a small microphone near the face and eyes closed.

A seated man in a rust-red robe with a wide gold-toned sash and a heavy gold necklace with a gold pendant holds a bundle of leaves and a stick raised above his head, eyes closed, with a dark tilak on his forehead and rudraksha bracelets on his arm. He sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne with carved lion-head armrests. Beside him, a young assistant in a pink headcloth and striped shawl holds a white mesh basket on a black stand while pouring from a metal vessel. A carved stone pillar and orange cloth hang in the background, and a striped mat covers the floor.2017-09-26 +1 copiesFebruary 20 20162016-02-20 +1 copiesA seated figure in a deep red-orange robe sits on a leopard-print cushioned throne before a large arrangement of white, yellow and red flowers.

The seated person wears a gold and red ornate crown, a reddish-orange robe, multiple layered gold necklaces and a white flower garland, and holds a silver trident. Golden lion figures flank the seat and the seat is covered with leopard-print cushions. The person is smiling with a full beard; the cues of long swept hair and gold ceremonial adornment are partly visible but the appearance is not clearly established, so this is a figure on a throne in a procession setting.2016-12-09 +1 copiesFebruary 20 20162016-02-20 +1 copiesFebruary 20 20162016-02-20 +1 copies
