A photograph of a devotional offering at a golden throne (peetha) decorated with flower garlands and silver-and-blue striped drapery. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a long orange shawl and a rudraksha-style necklace receives a tray of green limes from devotees. A man in white with an orange shawl leans in to offer, a young priest in orange stands at left, an older woman in a white sari with a maroon border holds the offering, and a woman in white sits behind them. The setting suggests a darshan or biksha offering ceremony. The seated figure has long hair and distinctive saffron and ornate cues, so a person appearance is noted with a role of seated figure on the throne.
