The seated figure wears an orange robe and a white garland and sits beneath a yellow canopy, flanked by floral-garlanded deity murtis and golden vahana figures of animals. Around the stage, several people in white dhotis and saffron shawls sit on the floor, some with brass vessels and offerings, while a woman in a green sari sits among them. The backdrop shows a painted temple gateway. Given the page's reference to a person and the throne, the central seated figure is a person with orange robe, white garland and throne, and the appearance cues are moderate, so this is marked unsure. The seated group performs a puja-style satsang setting.2010-11-13A seated man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions at the centre of a decorated stage. Garlanded deity murti and a golden throne flank him, and a large yellow canopy hangs above. Several people in white dhotis and saris sit on the floor in front of him, some with brass vessels, while a musician in orange sits at left with a harmonium-style instrument and microphone. Marigold and rose garlands drape the murtis and frame. The backdrop shows painted temple gopuram architecture. Description: appearance-based label for the seated figure is probable, based on the saffron robe, rudraksha mala and throne, with the stage role as a teacher giving a satsang.2010-11-14
