A man seated on an ornate golden throne beneath a jewelled, fringed golden canopy, wearing a rust-red robe over bare shoulders and multiple gold-coloured beaded garlands. He stirs or serves rice from a large engraved silver bowl placed on a green leaf on a low altar. A silver trident stands at left, a silver bowl and food trays sit at right, and a blue and green fan-shaped backdrop frames the scene with decorative drums on either side. The arrangement suggests a food offering or annadan style service.

He wears an orange-red saffron wrap, a red bindi and a long ceremonial gold necklace of beads, and sits with eyes lowered while his hands rest in a large embossed silver bowl of yellow rice. A silver trident stands at his left, a leopard-print cushion lies at his feet, and a brass vessel, glasses and a green leaf-covered table are in view. Appearance cues are a saffron wrap, gold necklace and ornate throne, but the face and presentation are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the identity is unsure.2014-07-26 +1 copiesMarch 30 20162016-03-30A seated man in a golden ornate throne with carved scrollwork performs a ritual at a silver bowl filled with yellow flowers or grains on a white-draped table with green cloth. He wears a red-orange shawl and garments, a long rudraksha-style mala of beads, a red mark and white tilak on his forehead, and a gold bangle. A silver trident stands at left beside a brass kalasha-style vessel, with a bamboo screen behind and a fan at right. A partially visible person in white sits at the lower right edge. Appearance cues are ceremonial but the page does not state a person is present, so identity is uncertain.2016-03-30A seated man in a maroon-red robe and a long gold bead necklace stirs or serves a large engraved silver bowl of rice and vegetables set on a green banana leaf. An ornate embroidered red-and-gold umbrella shades him, a silver trident stands to the left, and a drum is visible behind a blue and green draped backdrop. He wears a red tilak on his forehead.2014-01-01A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion performs a ritual over a large silver bowl filled with yellow flowers or grains placed on a white cloth covered table. He wears a rust-red garment draped over his body, a long gold and brown beaded necklace, a red bindi and white horizontal marks on his forehead, and bangles on his wrist. Behind him stand bamboo screens, and a silver trident stands beside the throne next to a silver kettle-shaped vessel on a small wooden stool. A single other person in white garments is partly visible at the right edge. Appearance is consistent with a priest-like ritual setting, but the throne-seated figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.2016-03-30March 30 20162016-03-30March 30 20162016-03-30
