Beside him on the left, a younger man in an orange-red dhoti and rudraksha mala holds a plate of fried snacks. Behind them, several devotees in orange-red robes, some wearing rudraksha malas, stand near the offering.

A central figure in a maroon-and-gold turban, gold necklaces and bangles, and a golden-bordered cream shawl over a bare upper body reaches toward a silver plate of food on banana leaves. Around him, several people in saffron-orange robes wear rudraksha malas, including a shaved-headed man holding a plate and a woman in maroon robes. Men in white dhotis and a spectator in glasses stand in the background, with a bare-headed man on the right gesturing toward the plate. The scene reads as an offering of prasadam. a person identity is uncertain: the central figure's turban, gold jewellery and bare-chested adornments are compatible cues, but the face and presentation are not clearly conclusive.2013-11-02
