A seated man with long dark hair in an orange-saffron robe sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, hands pressed together in namaste. He wears a large green leafy garland and yellow-and-white marigold garlands. Several devotees kneel on a white cloth before him: a young man in a white shirt and jeans washes or offers to his bare feet, while others in white and yellow shawls sit nearby, one in orange with hands joined. Trays of flowers, fruit, bananas, a bowl of rice and small oil lamps sit on a white-covered table, with a tall brass vase of yellow flowers to the right. Gold curtains hang behind. The man on the throne shows the distinctive long hair and orange robe cues, so this is a probable match.
