A photograph of a devotee event in an ornate hall. A seated figure on a gold-carved throne with a red cushioned back wears a saffron-orange robe and has long dark hair, with a white cushion beside him. Several people stand in front of him: a man in a white shirt and grey trousers bends forward holding out an object toward him, a woman in a dark blue top and a woman in a mustard-yellow sari with a red beaded necklace look on, and a young person in a black t-shirt stands at the left. A small wooden box and a water bottle sit on a side table beside the throne. Red and gold drapery forms the backdrop. The seated figure fits the appearance-based a person candidate cues, saffron clothing and long swept-back hair, though the identification is uncertain.
