A seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with a carved golden back and lion-form armrests is smiling broadly, wearing a white turban with a red tilak, a long white and gold-trimmed robe, a heavy white and red flower garland, and a gold necklace. Two devotees in white kneel before him: a man in a white shirt and dhoti, holding the seated figure's hand, and a woman in a cream sari with a shimmering border, her hair loose. Red and white flower arrangements decorate the throne, and a green brick-patterned backdrop sits behind.

The central figure wears a white turban, a cream-coloured robe, and long layered red and white flower garlands, and is smiling. An elderly man in white shirt and white dhoti kneels at his left, bending toward him, and a woman in a white sari with a sheer white shawl leans in from his right and touches his face. Vases of orange and yellow flowers and a brass lamp stand flank the throne, with a dark brick wall behind. The central figure shows long swept-back hair, a turban and garlands, which are cues consistent with the page's reference to a person seated in person.2009-07-06June 22 20092009-06-22A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions is smiling broadly. He wears a white turban, a cream silk garment with pale trousers, a long white and red flower garland, and a gold necklace. A man in a white shirt and white trousers stands at left, shaking his hand.

On the left, a bald man in a white shirt with a red-and-white beaded necklace leans in toward him. On the right, a woman in a cream and gold sari with a long braid bends forward, touching his garland. Two people are visible, and the figure is a candidate for the a person appearance cues, given the turban, long hair, shawl and garland, but the appearance is not sufficient to confirm identity.2009-07-06 +1 copiesA seated man on an ornate gold throne with a carved back and lion-head armrests, wearing a white turban, beige silk garment, rudraksha-style necklace and white flower garlands with red blossoms. A man in white kurta and dhoti kneels at the left and offers a flower garland, while a woman in an orange sari with purple border sits at the right near the throne. White and orange floral decorations frame the throne against a dark stone wall, with gold ritual vessels in the foreground.
