A seated man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, bare-chested with a gold-decorated rudraksha-style bead necklace and a gold-coloured headband, sits on a gold-framed red-cushioned throne holding a tall gold staff, smiling. Around him several devotees in white shirts and dhotis stand and lean in, one man in white reaching toward a red tray with a gold kalasha-like vessel. A pillar and white-walled hall are behind them. The seated man's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so he is described by role as a seated figure on a throne.

A photograph inside a marble-walled hall of a man in a white shirt and white trousers with spectacles and a moustache reaching out to offer a small silver-coloured object to a seated figure. The seated figure wears an orange-red saffron garment, a long gold bead necklace with a pendant, a red floral headband and a sandalwood-marked forehead, and sits on a red-cushioned seat before an ornate gold throne with a sunburst back. Behind them a standing man in an orange-and-yellow robe with a gold bead necklace and a shaved head smiles, and a crowd of onlookers in white and blue crowds the frame. A hand with bracelets reaches in from the right. The figure appears to be a person by appearance, with long hair swept back, ornate gold necklace and saffron clothing, seated in an honoured position.2012-05-12A photograph inside a marble-walled hall showing a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha-adorned gold necklace, wearing a red-and-gold headband, seated on a red cushioned throne with gold carved armrest.
