A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne wearing a rust-brown turban with a jewelled ornament, rust-brown robes, a gold chain, and a long garland of red and white flowers draped over his shoulders. Beside him are two standing murti figures: one of a figure with a cobra hood and a tall striped crown, decorated with yellow and white garlands, and a smaller figure wearing a gold-and-red necklace. At the lower left, several devotees with folded hands bow in front of the throne, and a plate of flowers rests at its base. Appearance-based candidate: the seated man wears a turban and garlands with ornate gold adornments, so a person is seated on the throne as the central figure. Four people are visible, including partially visible devotees.
