A seated man in a golden throne with red cushions sits with palms pressed together in namaskar, wearing a red-and-maroon head cloth, a bare upper body, and a garland of white and red flowers. Two gold-painted dvarapala-style figures with raised arms flank the throne on the painted blue-and-pink temple backdrop. To the right, a deity murti draped in orange cloth is adorned with multicolored garlands and jewelled decorations, set before a gold arch with lion motifs. Brass oil lamps stand in front, and a row of silver plates holds offerings, including a white conical sweet, fruit and food arranged in the foreground. The scene appears to be a satsang or puja in a temple hall.

Brass lamps and metal plates of food offerings are placed on a red patterned carpet in front. A painted columned backdrop with pink and green accents, a maroon curtain and an air conditioner unit complete the scene.

To his right stands a decorated deity murti draped in orange silk and covered in multicoloured garlands and flower ornaments, with brass oil lamps and metal plates of offerings on the floor. The setting is a temple hall with painted pillars and a red patterned carpet. Visible appearance cues include a headwrap, rudraksha-style ornament and gold jewellery, so this may be a person seated in his peetha during a darshan or satsang, though his identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2013-11-17A photograph of a temple-style stage with a golden throne at left where a man in an orange-brown robe and matching turban sits with palms pressed together in greeting.

Brass oil lamps stand on the floor between the two thrones, and a mat covers the floor.2013-11-15November 16 20132013-11-16 +1 copiesNovember 16 20132013-11-16 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne with carved lion armrests, in a decorated hall with painted pillars. He wears a rust-orange turban, an orange-brown robe, a long bright garland of red, white and green flowers, and gold bangles.
