A young man in an orange-red silk robe and matching turban stands on a white cushioned mat in front of an ornate carved wooden throne with a white upholstered back, pressing his palms together in anjali. He wears a multicoloured woven garland with pompoms and rudraksha beads at his chest. Behind him, a man in white kurta with a name badge stands near the throne, and to the right several men in white and in a green shirt stand with hands folded or clasped, watching. A brass tray and bowls with flower petals sit on the red carpet in the foreground, and a white floral garland drapes over the throne arm. A backdrop with a blue-and-white logo is visible behind. Whether the orange-robed figure is a person is uncertain from appearance alone.

Two men in white shirts and white dhotis stand nearby: one at left bends forward toward the throne, the other at right, with palms pressed together in namaste, is accompanied by a younger man in white. Red curtains, a gold lamp stand and a gold chariot-like carved panel frame the scene on a red-carpeted stage. Several people in white attire attend the seated figure, consistent with a devotional gathering.2015-11-22A photograph of a seated man in orange saffron robes and an orange head cloth, hands pressed together in namaskar and smiling, on an ornate carved wooden throne with lion-head armrests and a deep red velvet back.
