A seated figure in a rust-red robe sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, a long pink-and-white flower garland hanging to the lap. Two women in white sarees sit barefoot on the platform before him; the woman on the left holds a small silver bowl and the woman on the right holds a silver tray with a flower, offering flowers and worship items. A silver plate of pink and red flowers and white blossoms rests on a leopard-print cloth at his feet, with a brass lamp stand beside it. The stone plaque on the platform bears an inscription partly legible. Visible people: three, the seated figure and two attendants, with only legs and hands of the seated figure shown.

A striped multicolour cloth covers the platform. This looks like a padapuja, but the figure is only partly visible and the robe is not a clear appearance match for an identified person, so the identity is left unsure.2017-06-26June 26 20172017-06-26A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with carved lion heads and leopard-print upholstery, wearing a rust-orange cloth, a pink and white flower garland, and a tall ornate golden crown.
