In the centre stands a man in an orange dhoti and shawl with a heavy gold beaded necklace and a sandalwood-and-kumkum forehead mark, hands pressed together in anjali. To his right a younger shaven-headed man in orange robes wears a rudraksha mala and holds his hands together. On the left an older man with white hair and beard, in white shirt and white dhoti, stands with palms joined. Behind them a crowd of devotees, some in orange and some in white, stand with hands folded. The scene suggests devotional standing worship. Orange-robed central figure with gold beads and mala matches the appearance cues, so this is a person presence, shown in person.2012-09-24September 24 20122012-09-24
