A seated man in a rust-red saffron robe with a gold ornate necklace, rudraksha-style beaded mala and white jasmine garlands sits on a red-cushioned gold throne, with a green leaf crown on his head. A bare-chested priest in a white dhoti with white ash markings on his arms and forehead raises a large gold ceremonial plate above him while another attendant in orange cloth stands behind. Green leaves and petals scatter through the air over the seated man. A white desk fan sits in the background. The seated man has long dark hair and a short beard, with appearance cues consistent with a person in the robe, beads and throne, though this is an appearance-based label only.
