A seated man with eyes closed, wearing an orange turban with a red-and-white tilak on his forehead, bare-shouldered with an orange garment and a gold armlet shaped like a serpent on his upper arm. He is draped in a thick red flower garland and a green leaf garland strung with round yellow-green fruits, seated on golden cushions amid yellow marigold garlands. Behind him stands a large painted image of a goddess with a crown, red lips and kumkum on her forehead, flanked by gold trident-like staffs wrapped in white flowers and red ribbons, with a gilded ornamental throne or ornament on the left. This appears to be a pooja or devotional setting with an orange-draped seat of honour before a deity image.

October 17 20102010-10-17A man seated with eyes closed in a meditative pose, wearing an orange turban, orange garment, a red-and-white garland and a green leaf garland, with a gold armlet shaped like a serpent on his upper arm and a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him stands a large framed backdrop of a deity murti with a crown and ornate jewellery, next to golden trident-shaped ceremonial objects wrapped in white flower garlands. Golden decorative throne carvings and yellow marigold flowers frame the scene.

Behind him a large painted or printed image of a deity with a jeweled crown, red lips and white face markings, flanked by gold ceremonial staffs wrapped with white flowers and red ribbons. Orange cloth draped over the seat, and the scene reads as a devotional stage setting with deity murti imagery.2010-10-17A seated man in an orange turban and orange saffron-coloured garment sits on an ornate gold throne with carved backrest and finials.

He wears an orange saffron turban with a gold-edged band, a dark vibhuti or kumkum mark on his forehead, and a gold armlet shaped like a serpent on his upper arm. Around his neck hang a thick garland of deep red roses and a second garland of green leaves studded with round lime-green fruits.
