A seated man in an orange-saffron robe over a red top sits on a red patterned cushioned seat before an ornate gold throne with carved deity relief and yellow-and-purple flower garlands. He raises a trident in one hand and a wooden staff in the other. Before him, a woman in a purple patterned sari with a gold-bordered shawl and a woman in a pink blouse stand with hands folded in respect. A man in an orange robe stands behind them. Dry twigs lie in front of the throne. Appearance cues including the saffron robe and throne are consistent with a person, seated in a blessing gesture with a trident.

A man in a white shirt and dark trousers bows deeply, his head bent toward the seated figure, while another hand rests on his head. A saffron-robed attendant stands at left and a woman in a beige shawl with a striped pattern watches at right. In the foreground, a woman in orange clothing is partially visible.2009-12-17August 19 20092009-08-19November 24 20152015-11-24A photograph of a ritual inside a red and orange tented hall. In the foreground a shaved-headed priest in an orange dhoti with gold-bordered shawl, sandalwood marks and rudraksha mala, faces away from the camera while holding a lit camphor aarti flame on a brass plate toward a golden throne. Seated on the ornate gold throne under a gold parasol is a figure in orange robes with long dark hair, a white beaded necklace and a gold chain, hands joined in greeting; the figure's identity is uncertain from appearance alone. Behind the throne stands a gold-framed deity murti with a trident-like staff nearby, and to the right a seated woman in orange with a flower garland. Two small girls in orange kneel at the lower edge beside black monitors, and a framed photo hangs at left.2013-02-07November 24 20152015-11-24May 13 20132013-05-13 +1 copiesFebruary 26 20132013-02-26 +1 copiesA seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala sits on a gold-and-red throne with a floral garland draped over its back. Several women in saris crowd close, one in a red blouse with raised hands, another in a green sari with yellow motifs. A man in a white shirt and grey trousers leans in to touch the seated figure's head. Another person in an orange robe stands at right, and a red-orange backdrop with a painted forest scene fills the background. The seated figure's appearance matches the page's cues of long hair, saffron robes and rudraksha beads, so this is a person in person receiving devotees on a throne; the orange-robed figure at right is a monastic attendant.2009-08-06November 19 20092009-11-19
